Hi Arturo, you seem to have become absolutely fascinated by macro photography lately! I like this one (subject, color, composition)!

Hola, I love nature up close and from afar. I learn from it, and it's never disappointed or betrayed me. That photo of the beetles was from yesterday. I was in Campillo de Adentro.

Look, Jan, this is a detail of what was happening in the thistle, the distracted beetles and the fly looking for something.

A beetle-fly threesome ?? Fantastic.

The thistle looks like Carduus acanthoides, but there are other possibilities so just a guess.

Dear Birna, it was more of a bacchanal than a trio.

This is a wonderful series Arturo! Was already impressed by the first one, but the series got better and the last one’s amazing! You must have been enjoying!

Thank you very much. Campillo de Adentro is located within a natural park. I'm trying to restore a shepherd's house there. It's a coastal Mediterranean landscape full of surprises.

Unusual approach leads to a good look for the insect.  The brighter version allows more to be seen without changing the "dreamy" effect.

I agree with you, Plutón. I took that photo with a lens that doesn't have an aperture, which is why it's a bit dark. Cheers.

Of all the images of that day, he liked the one we took to test exposure the most, go figure...

I'm trying ... He certainly comes forward as very manly.

The braid is amazing

Sun is getting stronger by the day. Peak of summer is slowly approaching.
