Nets

The spider webs hang like nets in the rice field.

Bogged Down

The rain bogs down the spider web. But the spider remains.

This time of year in Sendai the spiders start to come out. In a few weeks, the big yellow ones will appear. this may or may not be one of those.

Ugly Invasion

These larvae were all over. They were all in this position with one caterpillar on one weed.

I like to make photos that allow the viewer to explore the scene. But this is a little too hard I think.

Unexpected Visitor

I was trying to get the shots of the rain drops when the ant came at the right time.

Drops on Grass

Testing out my macro lens. I really need to bring out a tripod.

From Death, Life Begins Anew

There is this tree stump (it's actually quite tall, and this small tree is growing out of it. I wonder what the roots will look like.

Some kind of Berry

I wonder what this is. I found it near a rice field.

Pillow

There is a house in my neighborhood with awesome flowers.

What's This?

This is some kind of weed taken from above.

The twins.

Basking in the evening sun.

Fluffy Seeds

The Pair

A pair of dandelions in different stages of their lives.

Macro Season

These flowers [weeds] are out now, so I thought I would take my macro out for a spin.

Let's Fly Kite

Graceful.

Contrasting Colors

These colors look good together - when they are not on the Seahawks uniform.
