Sony A700
Minolta 200mm macro

Had a session at the Mercer Arboretum in Northeast Houston yesterday. Shot a bunch of water lilies but also got a few images of these little guys working over some cone flowers. All comments welcome.>=))>

Techs look great Bill & it's an interesting comp..
The flower & b-fly were meant for each other, both R slightly less than perfect specimens.
