A few macros from the garden this morning...it was a bit dull so I used my speedlight for a change...I don't normally use flash as it tends to wash the colours out too much but being dull this morning it seemed to help...all hand held as usual...had no chance to use a tripod as she was too far into the middle of the bush...these are largish files so they can be double downloaded...

Ron, they are fantastic photos. I almost forgot that I have a pretty darn good set of flashes. Need to use them.

Awesome shots, Ron! Those antennae (feelers) on the head is almost coming out of the frame.

You're not called King of the Bees for nothing, Ron. Fantastic shots, and the double DLs a must to see the incredible eyes.

Thanks Donna, I have my clock here (PC) set to 1.39pm central US time so that seems OK...I wondered if it was set right...we have friends in Idaho, hence the more central time setting...
