Green Eyed Lady. Lovely Lady.

Incredible images of the insectivores. 🙂
Thanks, Susan.
Incredible images of the insectivores.
I love your insect show, they have personality 😀
Thanks, Heidi.
Lovely panorama’s and great collection of insects. You had a nice friend in your car that day 😉
The Sandias look very special with the clouds on top.
Thanks, Rudi. Gary Grasshopper was having fun. Good thing it was a cool day to spend in the car. I put him back out when I got home. The Sandias always look a little different.
The green eyes are very pretty from close up like this. These pictures do, unfortunately, remind me of the film The Fly though.
Thanks, Robin. I don’t think I say The Fly.
For ‘full-disclosure’ reasons I am compelled to admit:
I have a weakness and a soft-spot in my heart for bugs and have spilt quite a lot of virtual ink upon them on my blog.
If interested you may discover most of those ‘buggy’ (pun intended) posts simply by typing ‘ants’ or ‘spiders’ or ‘crud eaters’ into the search for it black hole on the upper right side of my home page.

Yes, yes, I know: this is shameless self-promotion.
But I am sincere in my appreciation of your work.
Wonderful post and great photos.
Well done!
Cheers to you!
I’ll check them out. Thanks, LaMarcom.
Neat photos! And I always enjoy the captions, names and thoughts.
Love the skies as always!
Thanks, Nancy.
While the painter was creating abundantly (wows… lots of them!), those tiny creatures were on the catwalk for you! Though not my favorite beings out there, I have to admit they are great looking! One of them would like to drive your car too!
Once in a lifetime for Gary Grasshopper. The bugs have their own beauty. Thanks, Marina.
They do…
The detail is amazing. All that in one tiny thing.
A lot goes into into a bug. All the better to bug us. Thanks, Shey.
Hope Gary doesn’t grow bigger now he knows how to drive…
That’s a scary thought. Although he would probably be a better driver than at least half the maniacs out here. Thanks, Couriers.
A gallery that is worth quite a bit of study! The macros are indeed fascinating.
Thanks, Maj & Sher.
Incredible celebration of the glory of summer, Timothy. The Rio Grande photos and sky photos are dazzling, and fun to see the insects up close, especially the crab spider catching the butterfly.
Thanks, Jet.
A beautiful assortment of insect visitors and moody skies, Tim.
Insane shots, Tim! As well as being a fabulous photographer, your camera is a top-notch tool. Wow.
There is so much to your posts, Tim. First off – I’ll be singing Green Eyed Lady all day long:
Green eyed lady, lovely lady
Strolling slowly towards the sun
Green eyed lady, ocean lady
Soothing every raging wave that comes
Then there is the lecture by Bart. D. Ehrman, which I have been meaning to look into. Would you recommend his books? They sound very interesting to me.
Then there is the sky which feels like I could fly. And then your exotic and detailed photos of the Green Eyed Lady and friends. You always give a feast for the eyes.
I have to admit when I first saw the post title I thought we were in for another brilliant parody by Timothy Price! 😉
I have to keep you all on your toes and guessing.
😀😀😀
Hi Rebecca. Laurie got after me for getting the song stuck in her head.
I have not read Erhman’s best sellers, but I have read a couple other of his books, the most recent was “Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth” published in 2012. I don’t remember it was super compelling. His perspective on the New Testament is excellent. He has become more agnostic over the years, and more cynical it seems to me. I first heard him speak at a conference put on by the Biblical Archaeology Society in 2004. He was fascinating and compelling, so I started getting his lectures from the Teaching Company. I’ve noticed in the different lectures, he recycles a lot of the same material, but I do enjoy is courses.
I love all our little critters. The Green Eyed Lady is a native bee.
Thank you, Tim. I just downloaded the The New Testament on The Great Courses. Tell Laurie I am still hearing Green Eyed Lady in my head. I think it reminds me of a wonderful time in my life.
Let me know what you think about it. I’m listening to How Jesus Became God by Erhman. He covers some of the same material, but gets much deeper into the Greco-Roman history and gods and other people who were similar to Jesus at the time, like Apollonius of Tyana, who the pagans argued was to true son of God and Jesus was a fake into the fourth century.
I continue to learn and learn and learn….. you helped me make my decision. Thank you,
LOL…
SUCH LUCKY critters to go riding around and hanging out with you. fabulous shots Timothy❣️
Thanks, Cindy. I’ve preached to pigeons, now Gary Grasshopper got a bit of education on the Pastoral Epistles.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Can’t wait to hear how that works out. ❤️
Here’s the pigeons: https://wp.me/p1yQyy-61T

I got the comment. Happy you liked it.

Whoa!!! Those are some great photos, Tim! The faces! I can’t get over the face on the crab spider!😳
Lots of interesting faces. Thanks, Tiffany.
I think you might have bugs ha!
Just of few. They are lovely. Thanks, Brian.
Eeeeeeeeek!
Okay,I’m calming down. I like (mmm respect) insects, but they really look like aliens.
The beetle is very scary. That green eye…OH MY!
Great shots, Tim!
The beetle isn’t as scary as it looks. Thanks, Resa.
Okay… whew!
Wonderful bugs and beautiful skies … great shots Tim!
Thanks, Julie.
wow! the beetle is beautiful! and the other insects too… As for the sky… it’s always a marvel in your place…
