Hordeum grass against a great skyscape! As children, we used these grasses as little darts , throwing them at each other where they stuck into our clothes!

This picture was reserved for my 200th post. A “Riding into the Sunset” themed goodbye from the Jeridaking account. I already had the caption in mind. In it I will blabber my thanks and the hope that you will still add me as a contact once I created my new account.

But a 24 year old man by the name of Lester Nelson www.flickr.com/photos/lnelson/ had other ideas. Somehow he found this stream, added me as a contact and to my surprise gifted me with a PRO account.

Just like that, number 200 becomes 182. And 201 and beyond is made possible because of somebody who lives thousands of miles away from where I am.

Thanks Lester. You are amazing….Flickr is amazing!!!

Sometimes the best photo opportunities are close at hand and we overlook them. This photo is not digitally enhanced in any way. It was taken with a Tamron 90mm macro lens and a Sigma EF500 DG super flash. To prevent the background from being too dark I turned my camera until the rocket flower was behind the wasp.
