"Guess What in the World is Happening in this Photo!" 

It's a favorite game, "Guess What in the World is Happening in this Photo!" 

This was one of the winning images of the Close-up Photographer of the Year 2023 competition. The contest, in its fifth year, celebrates micro and macro photography, striving to show the hidden wonders of the natural world, from microscopic fungi to majestic animals. (Micro is the term used for taking photos of tiny subjects that require magnification, while macro involves capturing close-up images of larger subjects.) Photographer René Krekels won the Insect category with this image of wood ants defending their territory by spraying acid. Seems effective!

More Memories ...

I was texting John today, 

he said he liked the graphic (below) of me with a cane, in a recent blog.  He said, " The image of you with the cane (below) is priceless. No one is going to fool with you. :-)"

 

I replied, "Thanks John, yes, that is the main idea of Karate is to avoid conflict, but when you can't, be ready. But then I got sidetracked, and said I used to do a demo where I was dressed in a huge polka dot dress, hat, stockings rolled up and down, I carried a purse (filled with styrofoam) and a cane. I beat up 9 guys, never taking more than a few tiny shuffle steps. It was pretty funny. 

 

 

Now I am the old woman.
