A pollinator's view (but nor IR or UV). Download is sharper.

It's getting cold enough that the sapsuckers are appearing at the fat feeder. Male won't come along until late February, apparently to pick up the family and head for breeding territory. Downloads are sharper.

my untimeliness was me just snooping through your past postings, enjoy your work
I see we have similar interests re macro photography. You have wonderful photographs.especially noticed your green lacewing. Difficult critter to photograph well. I ran into one back in early fall and took a couple dozen photos. nothing goid. Couldn't get the critter in good profile for good focus. Was using a tripod and finally, out of sheer desperation (being an old curmudgeon resistant to change) I tried a crude focus stacking by using the focus ring. Merged the 6 shots in Photoshop and was surprised at the result. Not really good enough to post but have thought about it a time or two. Thanks for looking at the photos.

Thanks! Good folks do hang around here for sure.
Having spent a good part of my professional life
bent over high quality light microscopes (Zeiss, Leitz, etc.) I guess I have a difficult time differentiating between close up and macro photography. I thought that when I purchased my first micro /macro lens back in the '60s in my mind I thought I was doing macro photography.
With better cameras and fantastic minds things do change, for the better obviously, so I feel more comfortable with "close up" I suppose.
