Photo Challenge #17 A Bug's Life

This was one of my favorite weeks of picture taking! If anybody knows me, they know that I am TERRIFIED of all spiders and bugs. Spiders the size of the head of a pin have literally brought me to tears. When I saw the challenge, I decided to challenge myself to go big and take on my fear. I hope that you enjoy them. NOTE: There was NO zooming involved. I was REALLY that close.

Challenge Guidelines:
Submit 3 photos of bugs*-they may be of the same bug from different angles, or 3 different bugs.
These may be tweaked. They must have some color in them-so no B/W (can have select color) or sepia.

A bug is anything with more than 4 legs that is in the insect world, an arachnid, or any kind of creepy-crawly thing.

Enjoy! And remember, there's nothing to fear but fear itself....
.......and spiders.

Man Vs. Nature

This week's photo challenge is Man vs. Nature. I had a very busy week with not much time for photo challenges. This weekend I was talking to Ben trying to set up a date. I told him that I did not have as much time on Saturday because I wanted to figure out my photo challenge. His reply was that it was ok that we wouldn't have a date because he had let his lawn attack his property and needed to mow. It was a light bulb moment and I present to you Ben vs THE LAWN.

Rules:
1.Submit 3-5 photos by Friday or Saturday this week
2.They may be "tweeked"
3.Can be color, b/w, sepia- anything you feel makes your photographs more dynamic
4.and, finally, have fun!
