Hi,
RW is not in focus. Was that intentional?

:You and your damn garden! Sheesh!! Haven't you heard about
pesticides?

It's actually just a scraggly old bush. The wife is threatening to cut
it down,
but I held her off long enough to get a few more bug pics.

That's what I love about macro photography. You can find subjects
anywhere.
Put me in a field of wildflowers near the lake and I could kill 4 hours
without even looking up.
One time on the mountain, I got so engrossed in taking pics of spider
mites I almost missed the bald eagle flying by.
I'd go broke trying to do this with film, btw. It's so hard to get the
(manual) focus correct with such a shallow DOF, that I probably burn
20-30 shots for each keeper. That would get expensive with Velvia.
However, I shall be getting out the Fabulous EOS-1V soon, just to make
some cool Macro slides.

Oh gosh, Bret, I'm just pushing your leg... I've got the same
affliction when I'm with a certain 3 y/o nephew whose bug-focused
attention cannot be underestimated! The next time he's here I'm fairly
certain he'd enjoy a stroll through your little garden.

BTW, while taking macros of spider mites, how'd that lens work out on
the eagle overhead?

Thanks for the opportunity to keep a young and growing mind interested
by sharing the fun.
