grimsometimes, I try and illustrate the living-things I encounter to help fully observe and memorize their identifying features.
This is the latest such illustration, some galls I saw this year:
top row: ram's-horn & spangle gall wasps, on oaks
bottom row: beech gall midge, on beech; willow gall sawfly, on willow
The current set-up of my Barbie table, in the corner of the dining room--kitchen upstairs, purse shop downstairs. #doll #dolls #barbie #barbies #midge #skipper #alan #thelittlechaps #autumn #dolltable #dollphotography #dollphotographer #dollphotographers #dollcollectors

Assoc for Scottish LiteratureOh ye, wha in your oors o ease,
Are fashed wi golochs, mauks, an flees,
Fell stingin wasps an bumble bees,
Tak tent o this:
There’s ae sma pest that’s waur nor these
To mar your bliss…
—W.R. Darling, “The Pest”

Big Georgerecently discovered Midge Ure in his #unplugged/#accoustic mode. Brilliant. What a voice. #Midge #Ultravox
McNige 🇳🇿🏴🇬🇧A little experiment on my phone:
Capturing the midgies swirling in a beam of sunlight on the drive.
Natural light (no flash) and no idea what focal length to set for micro close ups as they dance within the 2 foot beam of sun, coupled with a fast exposure to hopefully capture them as sharp as possible.
