Wow, great shots everyone! As for a guess on the purple flower with the (crab) spider (I believe), I was going to guess outside of the yard and it being a thistle???


Denise you are really getting into macro again. Those all with the new lens?


Here are a couple taken yesterday. This guy was hanging upsidedown between the boards of my fence. The lighting was horrible so I tried flashing, but it was more difficult to hold things straight. So I turned the camera upsidedown and mounted the flash and this is about as good as I could get before he flew off. Ugly dude!





First one was with a 100mm macro and a 1.4x TC. The last two are with the 300F4IS +1.4xtc and a 36mm tube with 580 exII
