Almost almost almost done with photos from Hawaii, and then I can work on the backlog of other photos I've taken. This is from the second to last day, when we visited Maui Ocean Center under a fog of exhaustion. It turns out that this is also the best photo of a sea turtle I managed to get. #hawaii #honeymoon #maui #honu #mauioceancenter #seaturtle #aquarium

Meant to post this yesterday for #caturday - oh well. Found Amy's bow tie from our wedding last year and found it doesn't fit her anymore. But it does fit Rusty! He doesn't always wear a bow tie around the house, but when he does he looks dapper af. #rustythecat #cat #catsofinstagram #cutebutgrumpy #catsofig #ilovecats #crazycatlady #cats #catsinbowties

This poor fellow hopped right under Amy's paw, just as she set it down on the ground. It was pretty lively for a few minutes, landing first on my hand and then on some clover. It has since ceased to move unless confronted by something. #macrophotography #macros #macroclique #tinyworld #longisland #newyork #igbest_macros #macro_holic #majestic_macros #bugsofinstagram #insectsofinstagram #bugs_are_us #macro_freaks

This is the third or fourth (depending on how you count) sighting I've had of glossy ibis on Long Island in recent years. Always in the summer, always near wetlands. Love seeing these beautiful birds. #longisland #newyork #glossyibis #birds #birdsinflight #nuts_about_birds #longislandwildlife #longislandbirding #ibis #duneroad

Just realized I never posted this one on Instagram. A hoverfly on a flower, Bayard Cutting Arboretum. From last year, because I am still about a month behind on editing this years photos. #hoverfly #macrophotography #tinyworld #longisland #newyork #igbest_macros #macro_holic #majestic_macros #macrocollective #bugsofinstagram #insectsofinstagram #bugs_are_us #bayardcuttingarboretum #arboretum #flowers #macros #macro_freaks

One of the #ladybugs I released into my garden. I generally don't like to photograph ladybugs, as they are too shiny and I don't have the right lighting equipment (I use a ring light which makes it hard to diffuse the flash) but I couldn't resist this time. #ladybug #macros #macroclique #macrophotography #tinyworld #longisland #newyork #igbest_macros #macro_holic #majestic_macros #macrocollective #bugsofinstagram #insectsofinstagram #bugs_are_us

I rarely post #selfies but here's one. #beach #selfie #birthday

#spidersaturdays Found this relatively big spider at my parents house. It was not particularly concerned with my presence, just kind of watched me as I took its portrait. #jumpingspider #spiders #spidersofinstagram #macros #macroclique #macrophotography #tinyworld #longisland #newyork #igbest_macros #macro_holic #majestic_macros #macrocollective
