Great Photographs, Bob. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Is that Carpenter Bee alive? I occasionally get them around my wood shop. Kinda distracting. (Like in run away!) :lol:
I got GAS bad! The highways are filled with stuff coming this direction. (Well, not that much. But more than Grandma is happy about.)
I built a new tripod today from a head I had, and a surveyors tripod from Lowe's. Should prove interesting. (Macro oriented.)

Nice shots, I'm always amazed at how fast and coordinated that victim spinning is.

That is one impressive rig you put together! Yeah, I've been looking around in the macro section. That is very dangerous for me to do. Now there is a delivery tomorrow, another for Friday, another for Monday, and a ring flash/light sometime between mid and the end of October. :-(
If there's a pile within 40 miles, I'll step in it. :lol: :roll:
