I took a huge amount of  photographs  yesterday of these Banded Net Winged Beetles on flowers and on leaves yesterday so I could make a post about them on the blog.

The colors of the Banded Net- Winged Beetle are orange and black. They flare their wing  if danger is approaching them. Go outside and find some beetles today !

Happy May Everyone its Macro Monday for our theme for May. This is an Eastern Male Swallowtail butterfly I decided to do for this Macro Monday to begin the theme of the month. I took this on a butterfly bush using my macro lens to do this shot. Macro work is very tedious to do and its very fun to do once you get use to it.

 Happy May Day or should we say Misty May morning today for this blog post on the first day of May in 2019. These photos are couple of hours old from today when I did a sunrise mist shot at Mason Land Persevere Farm in Chapel Hill. My mentor Al D won't believe it that I am ahead of him posting today about this photo outing we did today.  Last night it dropped pretty well for the temperatures to produce dew and mist conditions for this morning to take pictures of it. Doing Sunrise photography along with mist photography is awesome to do when the right conditions occur the night before if it drops cool enough to produce mist to photograph. This was a successful sunrise and mist photo outing for the beginning of May and there will be more post this month ahead of the old man walkabout on his blog. Hope everyone has a great start to May!
