Late summer is the right time to find dead insects at home. Here we have a hornet which just fell down from the sky in the living room. I took the chance to make a close-up photo of this majestetic flying insect.
Photos were taken with the Pentax K1 II and the Pentax DFA 100mm F2.8 Macro.

Tulips bloom only briefly a year. These tulips and their cheering spring colors were photographed in a garden with the Pentax K1 II and the Pentax DFA 24-70mm F2.8 and the Sigma 180mm F3.5 Macro.
