The jack-o-lantern I carved for tomorrow.
Frog spawn in my pond. Each black dot is a tadpole.
Are they all going to hop around in your backyard, or?

Oh what a picture!
Oh wow, okay
I revisited a local park I hadn't been to for several years. I used to take my daughter there a lot when she was little.
I sat on a bench for a while to admire the view, and feed the geese. It was very peaceful.
It wasn't until I got home that I realised I must have sat in some goose poop, and it was all over the back of my coat!

Don’t see these guys much these days.

Grasshopper? Locust? Something else?
It’s a variety of grasshopper yes

Wow, the paint job on that Hind is just LOUD! Cool.
This helicopter is interesting, because it's one of the few that can double as both a transport AND a gunship at the same time. Most helicopters can only do one or the other.
I'm surprised the West hasn't come up with their own version yet.

Me touching a bumblebee.
I found a bee buzzing around in the clover, and I saw he couldn't fly. He climbed the stalks of clover, got some pollen, but seemed to fall back down again, waving his arms and legs.
I took this as a rare opportunity to touch a bee, something I'd never done before. I tried to get my finger to touch his extended bee "hand" in a sort of first contact. But he raised his stinger in defense. I tried to get him on a leaf, saying "it's OK Bee, get on the leaf, get on the leaf, get on the leaf". I wanted to get the bee out of the way so I didn't step on him because I was watering the plants. But the best I could do was get him to move out of the way on his own.
When I was done watering, I saw the bee was still there, so I decided to get some photos. I tried again to touch the bee, and to get a picture of the touch. Again and again, the bee hid in the grass, and when I moved the grass to get a photo, the bee came out, buzzing angrily, cursing me up and down in bumble, I'm sure. The bee actually ran at me several times - ever been chased by a bee before? Not flown after, but run after. It was kind of funny. And eventually after several misses, and much bee profanity, I got my bee touch photo.
I thanked the bee for his cooperation, and went on with my day.
I do hope he gets his wing strength back though, and his condition is only temporary.
@TheSkaFish aren’t you supposed to show us the pics?
I love bees... From a distance.
Would love to see the photo.
OK, so I know I'm late, but I remembered to look the other day for this and sure enough I found it:
First contact between Man and Bee
If you look closely, you'll see that my finger isn't exactly on the bee in the photo.
It was really hard to touch the bee, take a picture, AND avoid being stung at the same time.
I couldn't exactly ask him to hold a pose.
But sure enough, my finger did in fact touch the bee that day.
Enjoy this historic moment @okidoke @kaetic @ringwood @Draven @Serenia and anyone else who may have been curious
