Nice shots I like #2 & #3, I would have gone for a tighter crop on both of these, get rid of the piece of rope on the bee pic.
He does look like he had a big night on the grog

Always nice to get pictures of who you are talking to.
Talking of which, you're a lot younger than I thought you'd be. And what Pentax camera model is that you're using? Always nice to get pictures of who you are talking to.

Still dithering on what tripod to buy.
Based on the advice from this forum my short list is:
Manfrotta o55xprp
" magfiberpro055 mf3
" 190x prob
" 190mf3 magfiber
" 190mf4 magfiber
I like the look of magfiber055xpro but it is a little shorter than the standard o55xpro. Has any one got one of these?.
The 109mf4 magfiber folds down to a small size for carrying around but this is again on the short side.
The manfrotto mag grip action ball hd looks like it could be usefull.
I Would appreciate some more comments on the above to help me make a decision before I buy
I use the 190xprob with the Manfrotto 322rc2 joystick head for macro work. But to be honest i hardly ever use it for macro work. I find a tripod just too inhibiting. I also have an Manfrotto RC488 Ballhead for it, which is great for all my other photography work. Still dithering on what tripod to buy.

I also have a slik sprint with a Manfrotto 484 Ballhead which i use when i travel. Not the sturdiest but light weight and compact.
And lets not forget the Velbon monopod with a Tristar pistol grip head.

I was very surprised he let it go
I got the impression he was showing off because i was watching.

Very nice shots Clarky...
What lens did you use for this?
I really like 1 and 4. The head shot of the mouse is excellent.

I was out in the yard with my camera last night when i heard a comotion under the balcony and found the cat had caught a mouse.
He was just playing with it and eventually let it go.
I thought it was a gonna here, But no
He released it and it headed for the lawn
Just one more sniff and warning about trespassing
And it scurried off into the night.
