Had a good time at the Cypress Garden Swamp this morning. Got a few decent shots.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: My macro journey
Another enjoyable day at the swamp. Awfully humid, and I was dripping wet by the time I left, but was happy with the trip.
Lunch time!
I like the contrast of colors in this one, as well as the dew on the flowers.
Found this little guy hiding under some foliage.
Stink bug!

Re: My macro journey
Again, I appreciate the kind words. I've always thought that when pursuing a hobby, if you aren't progressing, then something is wrong. I do feel I've made a lot of progress in the last 2 years, and my current work is head and shoulders above what I was doing with film several decades ago. I would hope my work will be better in a few years than it is now.
Since you seem to have enjoyed the ones posted, here are a few more.
I think this is the same snail from my last outing. This is a better angle.
I've always like straight on shots of the dragonflies.
Not necessarily the best of the batch, but for variety, here's a damsel fly.

Your work is head and shoulders above ANY other professional photos I've seen.

Re: My macro journey
I'll bore you with a few more I took today.
Saw this guy as a shadow on a large blade. I gently bent it over and discovered it was a small frog. Got quite a few shots of him.
Was leaving when I spotted this little spider on a reed in the border along the parking lot. Luckily, I still had my camera handy and managed a few pics. Focus was tricky with the reed moving back and forth in the wind.
They have a butterfly house with a section for caterpillars and pupae.
This wasp was quickly moving from flower to flower, but stated put on this one long enough for me to grab 2 shots. Would have liked have gotten him without his head buried in the flower, but you get what you can.
