Cholla Cactus Bloom with Ornate Checkered Beetle ~ I went to Borrego Springs this weekend to shoot wildflowers. A few cactus were in bloom, and I found this Ornate Checkered Beetle in the flowers.
The Calla Lily & The Snail ~ I think this is turning out to be one of my favorites from the lily and snail shoot. I liked the colors and textures and shapes.
~ This image shows the difference in the size of the snails I was shooting. Both were "baby" snails, the shell of the larger one was only 2/3 of an inch in length, and the smaller one was only about 1/4 inch long. Is it really true that the babies of any creature is cute? I think so.
