Thank you. That was at Whiterocks Beach in Portrush, Northern Ireland, just over a week ago. I feel like a cheat sometimes; I'll take a whole load of photos and might only get a couple of decent ones. One of the advantages of digital photography!
Got a tip for us?

Nice to be young and tough. My old rump could not take the hard rocks she's sitting on. Not only that, but my back would probably ache for a day or so before I can stand up straight.
That said, it's an interesting photo. Sort of cute and happy (makes one smile).

she never got wet, a bit of telephoto lens trickery 😁How long did it take her to dry?

Yes, I used a Canon 100mm Macro USM adapted to an R6. But for some other similar photos that I took today, I also used an RF 100-500mm at 500mm. This lens allows me to take photos from approximate 36 inches away, but the macro lens is more useful since it can be placed closer to the subject. It has been raining intermittently for several days, so I wait for a moment of sunshine to take photos.
This is known as ginger plant. At the botanical garden. I just recently found one at a local nursery and bought it.

I actually changed lenses on my camera! This was with the Olympus 45mm 1.8.

Decided to take some holidays now that lockdown restrictions are less restrictive. Intending on doing a lot of walking and reading over the next few weeks starting with a bit of lunch alfresco at a nice little restaurant by a pond.
The other day I was surprised when I suddenly realized that I was not alone out on my deck..... I looked over and saw that this pair were enjoying "afternoon delight" on the handle of my snow shovel!
I'm no entomologist, but I do think they aren't the same species. Some insects actually lay eggs on some wasps and hornets, and the end result is something out of a sci-fi movie. There is some kind of interaction that actually creates 'zombie wasps', I read years ago. Yikes... Their offspring hatch, and eat the wasp from the inside out.

This leaf is from one of the Irises in my backyard. This plant grows all over the interior of Alaska.
