...Fly on snail shell with dandelion seedling.

I've renewed my subscription for another year, so I will be boring you all with even more anaglyphs now that I have completed the
raised beds in my garden. :biggrin:

I was sitting on my garden bench contemplating my cabbages, which are coming on great, apart from one that has been decimated by slugs and/or snails, which I don't mind as I've witnessed a song thrush
eating a snail on three occasions over the last week. I've managed a 3D photograph but it is too small in the frame to show here. Anyway I digress...I was sitting on my seat when I noticed this fly alight on an empty banded snail (yellow form) shell by my foot. I love serendipitous moments like this especially when I have my camera with me. :smile:

As usual red/cyan glasses to view in 3D
Fujifilm W3 3D camera plus Cyclopital macro attachment and Marumi +3 macro lens
Sigma flash (diffused)

Thanks for looking, it's good to be back. :cool:

Thanks John. Even with a reduction in the price of a passport, I won't be emigrating, after all my efforts over the last few weeks. :biggrin:

Here's an anaglyph of that chewed up cabbage, it's even worse today.
:eek:

Welcome back David, hope all is well with you and your cabbages! :biggrin: Both images are superb and I love the story about the fly landing at your feet on the snail shell. TFS. :smile:

Good to have you back, David, and I really like the cabbage picture, even if, as a gardener, it is not what you want to see.

Hi David, you certainly don't choose conventional subjects :biggrin: I still can't view in 3D I'm afraid but I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
