Totally agree Erik - any time in Nature is to be savoured, made all the better being forced by the camera to really look closely. Thanks for the post

That photo of the skinny orange bug with what looks like white flowers painted on its back is gorgeous! I've never seen a critter like that. All of these are amazing. I took some cool shots like these (only with my cell phone lol) and will be sharing them in next week's post.

I've seen those bugs before, but never knew what they were. Apparently it's an ailanthus webworm moth.

Cell phones, especially some newer ones, can take some incredible photos. I can't wait to see them! Also, with the Lightroom app you can do some pretty easy and good photo editing.

Thanks for the tip. I've never heard of that app but I'm gonna go check it out.

Sure! It's an Adobe product, the app version of the photo editing software I mainly use. I believe they have a free version.
