Garten Hunter: A Robber Fly ( #Asilidae ) in extreme detail. 🗡️🪰 These four images transition from a soft focus on morning dew to a sharp reveal of its powerful, spiny capture leg. #focusstacking (40 images) Fuji 55-200mm + #Raynox 250 Macro Adapter in my garden. #nature #robberfly #macroshot #insect

An extreme, direct close-up macro focusing sharply on the Robber Fly's massive compound eyes. The morning dew is mostly gone, revealing the incredibly dense and complex hexagonal pattern of its multi-faceted eyes. The surrounding dark hair and bristles are in sharp relief. Its legs are still in the frame, but the focus is clearly on the 'face'.

This shot reinforces the face-on perspective on the delicate purple flowers. The dew droplets covering the head and eyes are sharper, emphasizing the intricate hair and the complexity of its multi-faceted eyes. Its black and orange legs are held protectively around a tiny prey item.

An extreme macro photograph, face-on, of a Robber Fly covered in fine morning dew. The fly is perched on delicate light-purple flowers. Its huge, dark compound eyes are covered in sparkling water droplets. The focus is soft, highlighting the texture of the dew and the details of its hairy head. Its two orange and black front legs are crossed in front of its face. The background is a soft green and yellow blur.

Guardian of Salinas del Carmen 🐿️🧂 The Barbary ground squirrel (Atlantoxerus getulus) looks cute, but it’s actually an invasive species introduced to Fuerteventura in the 1960s. Quite a photogenic little bouncer! #Fuerteventura #WildlifePhotography #Nature #CanaryIslands #squirrel #animals #bskytog

A Barbary ground squirrel standing upright on its hind legs on a sunlit rock, posing like a guard. In the softly blurred background are the geometric, shallow water basins of the historic salt pans under warm sunlight.

Pure & untouched: Sea salt from Salinas del Carmen! 🌊🧂 Untreated, solar-evaporated & full of minerals. Coarse, crispy crystals with an amazing crunch—you can taste the Atlantic in every bite! ☀️✨ #seasalt #fuerteventura #canary #purenature #photography #photobluesky

Natural magic & 100% traditional craft at Salinas del Carmen! 🌊✨ Microalgae change the water from pink to terracotta as solar evaporation increases salinity. 🔴 Harvested entirely by hand with zero machinery. #fuerteventura #food #salt #canary #travel #naturalmagic #photography #salinasdelcarmen

Found after a heavy rainstorm: A close-up of a Common Wasp (Vespula vulgaris) 🌧️🐝 The black "anchor" on its yellow face shield is its key feature. Look at all those raindrops! Wasps may be annoying in summer, but they're vital pest controllers. #Insects #Nature #WildLife #Macro #macrophoto #wasp

Extreme macro close-up of a wet Common Wasp (Vespula vulgaris) head. The black anchor-shaped mark on its yellow face shield and tiny raindrops clinging to its fine hairs are clearly visible.

A view into the #cathedral of #Malaga. On the left and right you can see the famous #organs and in front the wooden carvings. Unfortunately there are nets on the ceiling because there are problems with moisture in the roof and stucco elements falling down as a result. #architecture #church #religion
