I removed the winter cover from the garden fountain and found these chaps. I do not have a macro lens so they were taken with the DA* 16-50 hand held.

"Good afternoon".

"Vegetation at last".

Apparently one of them had travelled all the way from Cornwall

Unfortunately the lurid green of the cover in the second photo is accurate, I toned it down a bit in the first photo.

Think I would rather deal with Clarky's spiders.
My dad spent years trying to eradicate these things from his nursery
C&C welcome.
Don.

Nice shots Hyram. We don't get too many snails in my garden.

Put that Macro at the top of your LBA list, you'll never regret it

I am tempted by the Pentax DFA 100 macro but at the other end of the spectrum I would also like a DA*300

Different level of cost of course
