I didn't worry about getting too close here as I wanted to give a sense of scale (please move if it doesn't qualify as macro, Scott !! ). Here seen feeding on the cone of a rudbeckia flower.

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/2500 sec @ f 7.1, - 1.67ev, ISO 500,hh.

Ian - Impressive Scale there. Blues are indeed tiny and your photo shows it nicely. Love the plane of focus management - wings are all nicely aligned.

Nicely composed, Ian, for the bf and the flower. The small blue on the yellow coneflower is a nice contrast and the flower provides a valuable size scale. Nice all around.
