Here are a few Laguna Beach Photos with some Post Production work.
Nice work on all Brent, but, on #2 the fence/railing lead me right to the trash cans. Can't you remove them, love the shot otherwise.

Like your shots, are there two different caterpillars here. My grandson and I messed with a white one the other day. They are fun to shoot as long as they don't move too fast.

Thanks for your comment, yea he will get his ice cream. He loves to go on walks with me, sometimes he wants me to leave the camera home, says it slows us down too much.Nice capture, I hope the grandson got an ice cream for his discovery!

Out for a walk with my grandson yesterday between showers and he spotted this little critter. Of course we had to take a few shots (48). Not much else out there. Taken with 60d 100 macro 430exll with home made diffuser. Any CC welcome. Thank you for looking.

Granddaughter swims and have taken some pictures, but do like the fact that you got down low. Nice!

Canon 70-300 aperture priory , I start with ISO at 200 and adjust as needed to keep shutter around 1/500 sec. Another tonight but will be lucky if we get it in, lot of clouds right now and expecting thunder storms later this afternoon.

Nikonian,thanks for your comments. I was using a Canon 430 EX II speedlight at 1/4 power with homemade diffuser. Maybe I should have gone up a little on the power, what are your thoughts please. Thank you again.Both of your images are quite contrasty, which is usually an indication of sunlight illumination. This is one reason macro-photographers eventually progress to controllable, speedlight illumination.
Also, when photographing animals, people, or insects, it is essential to keep eyes in focus. Your beetle is fine, but your bee eyes are soft.

The lenses already listed are all great. I'll toss in the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM at the next tier down as a great IS performer that gives the 300mm reach at a modest investment for good to great results.
I'll second that.

Those are nice pics, but as you indicate the bee is a little out of focus. The flower in itself is in focus and makes a good picture. Unless you change settings to increase depth of focus, the only solution I can think of is to set the focus a small fraction closer than the flower and start a burst of shots when the bumble bee is approaching the Rose of Sharon.
bunuweld, thanks for looking and for tips. Sorry to admit it but I did not even think of using burst mode. Thanks again!
