Bugs
While we were on Smith Creek - Bruce pointed out a bug on a log to me. I liked the contrast of the red bug against the brown log so I shot it. Only when I downloaded it and looked close did I discover it is indeed two bugs in an amorous embrace. I don't think this is to x rated for the board - but if it is - please delete it.

50D, 1/50 @ f2.8, 17-35 @ 35, ISO 200 , hand held

Merle I doubt anyone will consider this X rated. Cool shot. I think I was near you guys when Bruce pointed this out. I may not have been though, Bruce may have just been pointing bugs out all day.

Actually I thought that I pointed this bug out to you. Mine was a single bug. I walked past the centipede and you came over to see it. There were bugs everywhere. Who else pointed out bugs to Merle?

I seem to remember a lot of bugs being pointed out, but can' t remember by who.

Merle it's always fun to shoot little creatures like these. Nice job.

Mike, it may have been you who pointed out this bug. I could be mistaken with the I.D. of the bug pointer. There were enough bugs for everyone to be pointing them out all day.

Nice macro shot, Merle. Amazing what goes on down there in the moss... :wink:

For the record, I didn't point any bugs out to anybody!

Neat shot, Merle and the "action" adds to the appeal of the shot.

So Merle, Charles wasn't creepy enough for you ... no you have to go around making images of bugs! :eek:

Thanks for helping to make the gathering such a success! Wish I could have been there too. :smile:
