What Is Up With The Bugs?

*gasp* *sigh*
Will you look at that flower
How delicate & beautiful
In the sun or after a shower

*click* *click*
Capture the fleeting beauty
Freeze that moment in time
I feel a bit like it's my duty

*giggle* *giggle*
Lets load and see
How the pics turn out
Will the colors burst free

*GASP* Ewww~
What is it I see
Is it a bug there
Hiding in the beauty

*hmm* *sigh*
Oh well, it's to be
It'll add to the capture
 Just wait and see :)


(as a side note...I give up on the photo placement)

I'm very sure that they love the smell as much as we do?

Peonies actually REQUIRE ants to open their blossoms. Without the ants trekking to move around inside of them, they would never bloom. :-)

Actually, that is an old wives tale about the peonies though.

You have some great photos with the bugs Jerri!

I don't mind most of the bugs but spiders! YUK!

Look you have sunshine and warmth year round while the rest of us are freezing under 40 ft of snow. You're just going to have to have the bugs! LOL

I think you have done great with the photo essay, we tried to capture a butterfly in the garden on a plant got it, but could never get the details of the insect to show up like you did. I was told you had to have a special lens.

Hey, Lady, did you notice that there are a buncha bugs on your flowers??? ;-D ;-D What a cute photo essay and great flower/bug macro pics! I don't know what the deal is with the photo placement, but I never was able to get it right, either, other than to arrange them completely vertically - forget about placing them next to words or vice-versa. The pictures just fly all over the place. Nice job, Jerri!

The problem is that the editing window is not the same size as the published window. You get it all like you want it then poof...published and all hairy carey~ You can make an image right justified (to the edge along the right side) by right clicking on the image you have placed in the edit window...it is one of the little options somewhere there. Thanks for all the comments~

Great poem, photos and article! The other day I showed my 5-year-old granddaughter some little anthills. After she exclaimed, "Awesome", and she watched them for a while I decided to turn it into a science lesson.

"If you look long enough you can see that the ants are carrying food down into the ant hill for the baby ants," I offered. She looked even more intensely, squatting as only a child that age can do.

Then I asked, "So tell me, what kind of food do you think they are bringing down there? Look at them and you'll see tiny pieces of something."

She thought for quite a while before she emphatically answered, "Cheetos."

Wow jerri..I had to scroll down a long way to leave my comments...
I loves the read...I know that feeling well..
as for the photos...they are beautiful and I've enjoyed looking at them...as a matter of fact I intend on going way back up and looking at them again.

I understand totally any frustration on trying to post a photo essay here on Gather....I've even gone so far as to work on one then get to adding the photos and thrown up my hands and zapped the whole mess.... You did a much better job on that than I ever had...so I feel encouraged and may try again..lol

Jerri,
Iwant to thank you so much for commenting on my article: What I found out about Gather,and what Iam going to do about it!
Yes when it stops being fun and its more work it is time to take a step back and re look at the whole thing. Now that I am not worrying about getting the Cash Option I am having alot more fun.
God Bless you

Just got back to see your comment to my discussion. I do not have a macro screen on my camera. Just what came with it. It takes very good pictures and they dont get pixilated when enlarged. But cant do the zoom or they will not show the flower.

We have a lot of things on the camera we have not learned to use yet too.

I just played with mine and asked a ton of questions to figure out what I have done. My camera does so much more than I will ever be able to figure out ;)

Zoom, macro, super macro, and distance from the object you are shooting can be a bit touchy....I say shoot the shots from where you are most comfortable with your camera and what it captures :) So much can be done after the fact on your computer that it is not worth worrying about anyway ;)

Thank you Donald & Norma~
