Late this afternoon, I put my camera on the tripod and headed out back to see what I'd find.
The sun was low in the sky, so I knew all the
exposures would have to be long, so pictures of moving bugs and flowers
was out. Thankfully the wind was light and I focused on walking the fence
line where the sun was still casting it's rays. Photos started with partial second shutter speeds and went up to 2 1/2 seconds.

photo1- I don't know what kind of plant this is: it is a
vine with sharp stickers on it, but this portion is being eaten. As I
was focusing on the leaf I'm sure I saw a very tiny critter run down the
edge of the leaf..that was a very small critter!
photo2 - I think the stem is from the same vine - but not sure.
photo3 - The galvanized nail is part of the fence where the wood has been worn away or come off.
photo4 - The dogs almost look like ghosts as they play with the dog on the other side of the fence. (There are two 'ghost dogs' there, the second is a little more active and more difficult to see.)
photo5 - This photo was exposed for over 2 seconds, but there is little or no movement of the 'headless' dog.
Forty five photos later, the sun had set, and I was walking in thankful for getting 30 minutes with my camera outside. Looking that closely to small things we don't normally see is good.
(N
o harm
was caused to any animals in the capturing of these photos, or before
or after the capturing of these images too.)
