In the Garden

A few shots from the garden today.

Your style has a wonderful simplicity to it, that suits very well the subject matter.

Wonderful colours. Looks like a great day in the garden.
Thanks for showing us. BTW did you set up the tripod for the shots? and the usual mirror up approach as well?

They are all great, but this first one, are just amazing!

Thanks, all! And yes, these were shot with a tripod. My biggest challenge was wind. Even the slightest breeze kept the chamomile moving making it difficult to spot-focus on the critters.

Wow!
Great shots. Particularly like #1 and #3.

I found out last year that your bottom bug is an oriental lady bug. It goes through a couple stages before becoming an orange lady bug.

I was on my way to work when I spotted this spider in one of our boxwoods. I ran in the house, grabbed the camera and my 55mm f/2.8 Micro Nikkor and shot this image. The spider was pretty small, no more than an inch from the tip of its front legs to the tips of its rear legs. The image is not particularly sharp unfortunately, because I took it handbeld at around 1/60 second. The next morning, both the web and spider were gone.

What great color it has - You did a great capturing job STM

Some great shots! I'm soooo looking forward to the day I can take such cool shots! That ladybug is Awesome!

I agree the spider has some great color, and a cool look!
