In response to Jennifer’ s Color your world challenge with the 40th color – Goldenrod.
The Color your World challenge will run January through April, for 120 days, with a new Crayola color topic posting each day so it will be somewhat challenging but a great fun as well.

Taking photos of these bugs is so easy because they are quiet, but they are also tiny enough to challenge the focusing. I like do do researches after taking photos of some insects what I exactly captured. This “Western conifer seed bug” is native to the warm western USA but recently it expanded also in some parts of Europe. In the winter time the bugs try to survive inside the houses so they are not really very welcomed though they don’t do any damages, except their aroma when are disturbed. It is worst for the plants outside, because they feed on the sap of developing conifer cones throughout its life, , and its sap-sucking causes the developing seeds to wither and misdevelop (source: Wikipedia).

Treasure – for me it is so many things but as an amateur photographer I can find the treasure everywhere I move with my camera. It can be the busy or calm town, it can be the nature, it can be the smiling eyes of my husband or children. Sometimes we realize the treasure in the picture only after we zoom-in. So I did with the pictures of the snail and the ant also the strawberry and the bug.
