I have an incredible discovery: I own a magical umbrella!
Everyone knows that both grasshoppers and butterflies are hyper active critters. They are quick to move away whenever we get nearer to them.
I brought along my umbrella during my hiking these two weeks. In order to free my hands for the camera, I had to put it down on the floor. A grasshopper and a butterfly were purposely kept underneath in two separate occasions.
Here come the magic. Both of them are somehow mesmerized. They stayed as quiet as a fast asleep baby under my powerful umbrella. I moved my umbrella, I moved myself, and I moved my camera, but they never moved themselves.
In order to confirm that my hypothesis was right, I shook the surrounding grasses, and I tried blowing air and the rain drops. Wow, they were certainly mesmerized.
"xyz747+-x¸§¨©ª«¬®¯!@#$%*, do enjoy your day under my umbrella. You will be very safe over here.”
Those are mesmerizing critters. You have that magical touch with them, rainfield.
ReplyDeleteI'm mesmerized by the nature as well as your skill.....:-)
ReplyDeleteI am so mesmerized by your grasshopper and butterfly images that I find it hard to look away. Amazing!
ReplyDeletevery nice close-up!!!! mesmerized :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you singing rainfield, under your umbrella.. ella.. ella..
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trick to get them to stay there! You are a wonder, Rainfield!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing capture, Rainy! :)
ReplyDeletei think its you who mesmerises the critters.. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a very magical umbrella! Perhaps they all like the shade.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I enjoy those feelers-nice close ups indeed! My, the second one looks just like the maker fixed jewels on those wings! Thanks for the peek-
ReplyDeleteso cool of them!
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get one of those magical umbrellas? I would like to get some macros of nature as wonderful as the macros you get.
ReplyDeleteHere I tell you why I don't eat wild boar.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, Sarawak was a peaceful country. Then they made us join Malaysia. The country no longer became peaceful. The North Kalimantan liberation Army aka the communists started fighting the Malay soldiers in the jungle.
People reported that wild boars and deers were eating the corpses of the communists shot dead by the soldiers. For a long time, Sarawakians did not dare to eat the meat of these two animals. So I don't eat.
I only teased you the sayangness of your letting your wild boar go. In fact, it is no sayang to me since i don't eat.
I like seafood, so if you catch mud crabs, Then I feel really sayang I can't eat it.
Those are amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had such an umbrella, too :-)
amazing feat ... wonderful
ReplyDeleteGood one! I find it to be rather difficult to capture 'em flyin' insects. Especially the buzzing bees. o.0 Good shots by the way! :D
ReplyDeleteIcy BC:
ReplyDeleteI can transfer my power through the cyberspace and am willing to pass you some if you love to have.
Grass:
Oh oh, you will follow me...
Diane:
Have not seen your desert for some days. You need to be alert, and not to be mesmerized by them.
fufu:

They are many similar butterflies in your garden. Go catch a few and you can have many jewels.

It is not really difficult to capture these critters under my umbrella. it is a wonder.
You are good, Rainfield.
ReplyDeleteYou take good pictures, and you have the power to mesmerize critters.
Try to mesmerize me....
They were both mesmerized by you!
ReplyDeleteI need to get myself that magical umbrella too. Rain transforms our backyard into something magical too but I can't go outside to take photos because I am afraid that I will ruin my camera.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are awesome.
Maybe those insects thought the umbrella was a nice big shade where they felt safe so they didn't move away.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots. Rainfield, you never cease to mesmerize me.
ReplyDeleteI'm mesmerized too :)
ReplyDeleteRainfield, these are awesome closeup of your umbrella critters. They must have felt safe under the protection of the umbrella. Neat captures.
ReplyDeleteYou have a magic umbrella. I wish they had a magic umbrella store where I live.
ReplyDeleteThey might be zombies! lol
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. Awesome shots. I wish the critters over here too can be nice enough to stay still and pose for a shot. They move too fast. -__-
