Cloudscape



As of late, I've been cultivating my curiosity for timelapse photography.  There's nothing quite like spending thirty minutes scrolling through the amazing timelapse creations at Vimeo.  Over the winter, I purchased a device called an intervalometer, which allows me to program my camera to capture images at specified intervals over long time periods.  This Sunday afternoon, I pointed the camera skyward andprogrammed the invervalometer to capture images once per second for an hour.  Here is my first timelapse effort.  Consider this a contemplative look at the passing of time.  Watch as the clouds move from right to left as individual pieces tear apart and disappear.

Crab Spider vs. Ogre Fly



This action unfolded earlier this week on the flowering stem of little bluestem, right in our backyard.
