Friday Night Photos Small World Edition

Submitted by Socialprogressive on Fri, 05/02/2025 - 5:00pm

Welcome to Friday Night Photos everyone. Your once a week break from the daily madness of the crazy world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music, or whatever else you find of interest that helps you escape the madness.

The Balboa Park rose garden is in full bloom right now so yesterday I grabbed the macro lens and spent about 3 hours hunting for bugs. Unfortunately the pickings were pretty slim. Lots of bees and flies but not much of anything else. I ended up taking more shots of roses than bugs. Oh well. Some days you bite the bear and some days the bear bites you. Hopefully next time I get to bite the bear.

@QMS
Hopefully yesterday was just an off day in the garden and not a long lasting environmental thing.

Functional and decorative. When you need something done right, do it yourself.

@QMS

Spring in the NE is aways a delight to see, so green. Your well design has so much character, and the time-weathered cedar is always so beautiful.

You make the most common insects a vision of great interest.

I loved hearing Sergio Mendez again, thank you for all. I will post some photos tomorrow.

Cheers

Thanks for the links
These Hymenoptera don't sing and dance but they do buzz and fly.

@orlbucfan
Hope you get some rain.
We have a chance of rain in the forecast for the next two days. Normally I'd welcome it but tomorrow I was planning on photographing the Cinco de Mayo celebration in Old Town. I don't know if rain will cancel the event but it sure won't help.
