Oh I love red cardinals. They sound so pretty.
Hmmmm! :-) Another wonderful collection with my favourite being the reflections of the boulders. The flying ants aren't my thing, not since we've had them in the kitchen...
Fab photos! Aren't the wings on those flies beautiful with the transparency and the dots? And the "reflected boulders" capture is magnificent--a wonderful shot for contemplative writing.
Looks like those flying ants are big!
I see Tyler Jet is a very important person in your life:):)
I can't believe that there are so many different flowers blooming in the desert, and so many things to see also!
They are enormous out there.
Included the flying ants.
They are out of my imagination.
You take such wonderful pictures and how to you know the names of all those bugs? Fantastic. I would have sworn those were bats instead of flying ants. :)
i love the patterns in your reflected boulders, and the stair looks so inviting to take a step and see what it out there, which reveals how wonderful your world is. beautiful pictures, Diane.
Rain is a rare thing for that area, isn't it???? The birds and critters don't know what to make of it!!!! ha...
Great pictures--but the ant one made me chill...
Hugs,
Betsy
So nice to see these shots. It's been over a year since I have been to Sabino Canyon. It sure looks inviting.
What gorgeous photos of your area!!! Why can't I live kinda near all this beauty??? LOL. I really love the color in the Scarlet Spiderling!!! WOW! Just gazing at your photos makes me so melancholy!
love your world and how you capture it
A wonderful collection of photos!
Flying ants fooled me! I really thought they were birds! NIce surroundings!
the leaf looking bug... saw it for the first time...
very b'ful pics clicked with patience
Delightful pictures truly to enjoy. I miss the time spent in the wild...
My favorite? The cereal flies having breakfast together...
Nice conversation with Mr Cardinal.
P.S. A kissing bug perhaps?
What a wonderful world and so many great photos.
you are lucky that you've had rain. I could not believe that those were ants. I thought they were birds or bats.
Great pictures! I like the way you captured the ant swarm -- all the wing patterns look really cool when your picture is viewed full size.
I love the steps, of course, and the bug - really looks like the desert is blooming right now. Keep those ants there, though.
I bet that rain was very welcome.
