Looks like the flower is crying. I also like how there is a purple color cast on the last one. Very nice shots!
Adobe, give us courage to edit what photos must be altered, serenity to delete what cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the other.

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

Thistle was a good guess. It is an artichoke, which looks like a thistle and might even be a kind of thistle for all I know

That's a really nice flower image ddt0725. Magazine/post card quality for sure. Very clean!
I really like your macro work, Denise, but that flower stands out. Beautiful composition.
