In addition to the landscapes I posted yesterday, I felt like taking some closeups and used my macro lens on my Nikon D610.

I’m ambivalent about the goldenrod and love bugs, but only because I adore goldenrod and hate and despise lovebugs. Well, at least I don’t like them much. They adore the smell of fresh varnish, and whenever they’re swarming, I have to get my varnish laid before they get out of bed, or after they’ve gone home for the night. Beyond that, I’ve driven through swarms so thick I’ve had to stop and wash the car’s windshield three or four times before getting home. They are a nuisance — even though they’re not dangerous at all.
Still, that’s an exceptionally good photo of them.
How weird 😝
Gorgeous, Sherry!! Love, Cathy

Thanks Cathy. 🌹💗
So so beautiful shots!! 😍😍😍
Thanks so much Trini 😁
Another lovely set. I think Miro would have liked the Tear Thumb shot
Thanks Derrick. I’m flattered. The Tear Thumb has strange looking berries with that circular leaf sheath.
