Ladybug doing what it does best, foraging over the top of a field weed.  He looked so cool doing his business.

The irony here is that I can't stand the smell of these flowers.  My allergies aside, they are quite beautiful.  So taking some macro shots of these lily's caused me some discomfort, but I held my nose and fired away.  Enjoy the colors.

I had some time to take some macro photos last week from the various flowers that were part of Valentines day around here. I'll share a few more soon, but this one, tweaked in lightroom is my fav.

A group of orchids resting in a bowl of water.  Enjoy.

On my way to work last summer, I saw this spider web that had caught these cool raindrops from the night before. I grabbed the tripod and started shooting and it wasn't until I looked at the shots, that I noticed the spider in the web. This spider was no bigger than the tip of a pen. Interesting things come in all sizes. Enjoy.
