Butterfly on a Leaf

The butterflies are coming out.

Huge Dragonfly

This wasn't moving, so I could get close to it. The body of this thing was as big as my hand, and now I wish I had something to show how big it was.

Samurai Bug

For some reason this bug reminds me of a samurai. I think it is the long antennae. It might also be the way the bugs legs are positioned, almost in a seppuku position.

The Bucket

I think this bucket must have an interesting story.

Spider Webs

These webs are pretty cool when they are wet.

The Beginning

Every late summer these big yellow spiders appear. It looks like they are making their return.

Rebel Base

I am looking forward to coming back here to Jogi Nyorai Saiho-ji Temple with a telephoto lens. I only went with a 55mm this time.
