These are some pictures of spider webs that I took last August when I was kayaking early in the morning in the fog. I love the way that the spider webs show up at this time.

Grasshoppers
What do I know about grasshoppers except that they feel like they can be a nuisance? I enjoyed taking photos of some grasshoppers this week. We seem to be having an abundance of them this year. There are all kinds. Ours are green, which helps them to blend in with their surroundings. They can be […]
An Emerging Dragonfly
When I was out in my kayak a week or so ago, I saw something strange floating in the water. As I got closer, it looked like a dragonfly … or two. I wasn’t sure what, but took the picture to find out what it was. When I looked it up, it seems that this […]
Practising Blurry Backgrounds
I like to have blurry backgrounds in some of my photos. My neighbour had not cut his grass yet, so I was able to practise with some of the wildflowers growing in his backyard. God has put beauty in wildflowers (or weeds) for us to enjoy.
Bumblebee
I was sitting quietly by Balsam Lake, Ontario, when I noticed this industrious bumble bee. I don’t know what species it is – Ontario has numerous species of native bees and I’m not an expert. I usually avoid them. Bumble bees are large and fuzzy. Their colours and patterns vary – yellows, blacks, white, orange, brown. […]
Elm Sawfly Larva
We were getting our trailer ready for a camping trip, and saw this yellow “thing” on the step we use. I thought at first that it was some kind of cocoon, but when I looked at it closer, I could see that it almost looked like a caterpillar. However, it wasn’t quite like a caterpillar. […]
More Photos of Butterflies
I’m still having some difficulty with my website – www.bettymoorephotography.ca Please be patient – I will get it working soon. It doesn’t seem to be sending emails out with updates. A few weeks ago I posted some pictures of different butterflies that I was able to take when we were at the Butterfly Conservatory in […]
Butterflies at the Conservatory
If you want to see a variety of butterflies, the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is well worth visiting. When you first walk in, the number of butterflies is almost overwhelming. Most days they have about 2000 butterflies flying around. There are about 45 species, most of them coming from South America, so lots […]
Widow Skimmer Dragonfly
I’m in the process of reviewing photos that I took through the summer, and came across this one of a dragonfly. It was resting on our hydrangea, and stayed in place long enough for me to take its picture.We are always glad to see the dragonflies come in early summer. At times we have large […]
Great Spangled Fritillary
I believe this is a Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly. They are located in southern Canada and in the United States. It was flying in and around the flowers in my backyard. God has made everything beautiful in its time. ~ Ecclesiastes 3:11 ~
