Spring is here!

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted March 28, 20071,759 views9 comments

A patch of grape hyacinth in our garden is attracting all sorts of insects at the moment. This little guy was moving all over the place but I liked this position best.

Thank goodness the macro season has started!

Yeh. yeh, yeh... Rub it in. Posting a nice image like this, while I am stuck here in central Ohio with only the smallest number of flowers to shoot

Nice image. The three dominant colors work well together, and the ladybug's red is really a nice touch.

Thanks for posting (although I'll be more sincere about that once Spring really gets under way here!)

Hi Clive,

Great shot!!! The array of colors in this shot is what really makes this image stand out. Very nice. I don't normally start shooting closeups until around May. There are a few bugs starting to show up but too busy shooting birds and swampscapes. But I am anxiously awaiting macro season.

Beautiful colors, Clive,

If I had a wish, it would be that there would be a little more space on left of the wonderful flower and the ladybug.

My two-cents.
