Close-up of part of an umbellifer seed-head, showing the papery surrounding of the actual seeds. This picture was taken only a few steps from the one in the previous post: the umbellifer was growing in the rough vegetation fringing the quarry.

Slo-mo video of wasp eating
Something else I tried out for the first time: the high speed movie mode on my camera. This is of a wasp eating on an ivy flower.
Hopefully the picture quality will improve with practice. But even on a first try I was stunned watching the segments of the insect’s abdomen moving in relation to one another, and the way the antennae waved around.

A robin revealed
My first try at an animated video. The robin (and the original of the picture) shown here was featured in a post
last February.
