really nice work Guy.. I must get up earlier and see if I can't find a few with some dew on. Especially after the recent rain we've been having. A little on the B'flies at the weekend but this is just great.

As Justin said earlier; this really is special. The standard of macro shots on this forum is so good that sometimes it's hard to get an image to stand out but this one really does. Excellent.

It puts me in mind of the crystalline sweets we had as kids !

I know nothing about macro work so I almost never comment but this is just a fantastic image. I have no critique to make I'm afraid but I will tell you that I keep coming back to this image again and again to look at it.

Many Regards

Hello John.

Thanks for your comment.

I used to it that way in going out late afternoon and watching were they settled. These days as I know my local patch so well I just go out early now, and it does'nt take long to find them.

Is 10am to late...... John I can be back in bed by 8.30am.

The picture here was taken at 5am just as the sun was riseing.

Outrageously good Guy.
