More bugs


Desperate for a photo subject today, I ended up chasing this poor oil beetle through the woods with my camera.

It was pretty quick.

But once it found the shade and the shelter of a leaf, it settled down and allowed me to take a clear photo.

Some days I think bringing a camera ruins the walk--it becomes all about looking for things to get, rather than appreciating everything. For example, isn't it enough just to love the bluebird flash? Why do I insist on trying to get a photo (and failing every time). Below, believe it or not, is my best ever.
