Thank you Andy. Here are few more from the same set. That was a session focusing on using
Wireless flash and experimenting with lighting. I believe all these are straight from the camera
and no PP involved. What you see is what I got. :lol:

More good experiments, Sury :)

Excellent bee shots, Richard :)

There might be something in this idea about using flash ;)

caporip and sury, love the bee shots.

Here's a water drop on an alyssum blossom and I'm unsure what the name of the other flower is.

All those photos are awesome! Can't wait till we get some flowers going. Then I can try out the extension tubes I got last winter. Just one more thing to try to figure out.

These little guys have been on this cycad for quite a while and I water it nearly every day splashing water all over, I think they must be used to me now, they don’t even get agitated by my presence, well not too much. I’d like to know what they eat, all they seem to do is sit around on their nest.

Thank you Greg, Andy and Kenneth. I shall convey your sentiments to Missus, Greg.
Nice set you have there. I can't ID myself reflecting in the mirror let alone identify
others. :lol: Let the experts chime in, I say. :D The creature to the right on the second
one looks quite fearsome to me.

Well, I'm not sure if they're flying ants or small black wasps so that sort of puts me out of the running. I would happily put money on the fact that they are deadly poisonous, and could fell a water buffalo with one sting/bite ;) .
