Better than an Easter egg.

Finding these little Ladybugs in the green grass on my early morning Easter hike was more fun than an Easter egg hunt.
I used my Nikon D5100 and the Nikkor 18-300 lens. These were hand held because I had to carry an umbrella instead of a tripod. Yes, it rained in Northern California today. Yeah!

Love the shots, Riverlass! The DoF is perfect.

Glad to hear you got some rain. Yesterday, I read an article about CA's drought problems. It made me feel really guilty about how frivolous I am with the H2O.

Thank you. The focus wasn't so great on the last one, but I'm OK with it because I like the wonder ful Bokeh effects the images have. I'm learning to do this with my 18-300mm lens by standing back and extending the lens, then focusing on the subject. But... the 105mm seems sharper and closer when I do it right. Prime lenses are more work.. sometimes I'm lazy about this.

Much better than finding Easter eggs! Beautiful shots, Riverlass, and like others have mentioned, the backgrounds are wonderful. So glad you got some much needed rain and hope you get more.
