Very nice "macro" shot, Mark! I love those flowers and have a number of them planted in pots around my house ...very easy to grow, which I like!
I'm still waiting for the bees to appear but here's a few other macro shots I took this weekend ...

These were all hand-held so not the sharpest but hopefully I'll have some better ones soon!

Great shots everyone. Always nice to see the flowers coming back. Hopefully I can finally catch a couple. I did manage some dew earlier this week.

My 3-year old loves finding these in the yard and garden:

Great caterpillar, I have to go out and find one too! :) Excellent flowers too! Here is a spider I saw the other day and some ants (more photos of them and some other small things in my blog)

Nice dew drop, Jayson! I've been trying to get the reflection of something in raindrops lately such as a flower but I've been unsuccessful so far.
Love the caterpillar shot, John! Your daughter must be delighted when she finds these!
qwrad - those shots are super sharp! Did you use a tripod? Macro slider?
Here's a few I took tonight. Still haven't brought my tripod out or my slider for macro shots ...maybe this weekend.

Thanks Denise, yours are great too, great lighting and nice dark background. Both of my shots here and most in the blog post are handheld, only the ones of the fly are shot with a tripod (indoors on a white A4 paper with natural light). The head closeup is shot using extension tubes. Been thinking about the macro rail too, let me know what you think of it if you get one.
neuroanatomist,
I could never let that insect crawl across my hand. When I was a child all the neighborhood kids including me would play with the big green cecedias where I picked one up a few years ago to tease my dogs and it somehow bit me or poked me where it really hurt. I will never pick up another one of those for the rest of my life God willing. Anything that has more then 8 legs is off limits as well.
