I found this little guy on my walk today. I am sure it is the last bit of summer I will see in a while.

In the Macro photo essay.

    He's using all of his six legs to get the best kind of hold onto his nectar producing stamens! I'm sorry summer is ending for you, but glad it's beginning for us...be it ever so slowly.

    I got lucky with this shot!! He wasn't moving around much. I think it is because the temperature was dropping pretty quickly. I didn't get to stay out long because of my hands getting cold.

    A beautiful macro, Regenia. He doesn't seem to be concerned with the calendar; he has too much work to do.
