You need to do some lawn maintenance! Mrs AFB always makes me pick them well before they get to the seeding stage!

That's a smart woman!

My first attempt with photo painting. In retrospect, while nor as pixel peeking crisp as the original, probably too detailed for painting using acrylic brushes.

OK, your new assignment is to get a photo of the "mating wheel". What camera do you use?

Assigment completed.

Here you can see the 'mating wheel' in action. Moments later, off she went to oviposit her eggs in the pond, with him still attached. I'm not sure if the male here is having a bit of lunch whilst doing the business, he was quite happily hanging with the leaf in his mouth. Guess he was enjoying cake whilst eating it too!
Comments appreciated.

Not bad considering there's only me in the class!

Nope, we grade on a curve here, and the class average is a C!

That's just 'mean'

I think my average was an F!

I think my average was an F!

Not judging by some of your photos!

I kid, I kid. Though I do recall from college one of my buddies took an advanced chemistry class where the average was indeed an F, and it was considered normal. And to that, I say...cute tiny chipmunk:

I teach maths and 'F' is the average in my classes. ALL of my students have previously failed, its my job to teach them in 12 months what they havent learnt in 12 years - easy!

Macro in the garden. Or as Mrs AFB calls it, bee bothering!

For Memorial Day. My Uncle Bill. A remembrance for all who served.

Trying out a cheap telephoto I got for free, it's not bad if you don't push it past 100mm...

My first try with a real camera instead of an iPhone.
Not too impressive, but I'm still learning.

Have to start somewhere. Shoot, shoot, evaluate results, shoot, shoot, evaluate and learn... Easy and inexpensive these days with digital. Quite pricey in the past with film development costs. Enjoy your new approach
