Had a good time at the Cypress Garden Swamp this morning. Got a few decent shots.
I think the known issues are taken care of. If you have any issues or know of another member who is having issues, PM daytime dave. As we head towards the holidays, hunt with 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.
