Pastel orange--such a delicate color against that field of blue. I admire the crop, too, a truly lovely flower comp. Please accept my humble admiration & this Gilded Lily--

Waugh! it's got killer feelers doesn't it? & that proboscis looks like maybe I don't want that bug on my skin! Nice capture, Mary, good to be sharing a SC with you once again.

This is what I like, some action! A little poetry in motion, a little luck. "D

Awesome shot Giorgio! The BG colors are just right & the detail is amazing. The world of bugs is always such a surprise. I've got a feeling we're all going to enjoy your shots very much!

Sweet! Yep, I handhold all my macro shots, too, I don't have the patience/concentration to use even a monopod out in the field (it was so hot/humid this morning). Nice detail in this--you're lucky to have ladybugs. I hope you can get a shot that includes a ladybug & an aphid, that would be so cool.

Day Lily

Looks like it caught sunbeam. Love the lilies, & their intense colors. A challenge to shoot because of the air between the petals & the depth of the flower. I was at the botanical garden this morning shooting in the lily garden. It was so hot, humid, & airless but I never felt a thing as long as I was composing my shot. I'm posting them to my Botanicals 2010 folder, if you want to browse. Always enjoy your work Kelli, it's fun to be in a side challenge again with you.

I have no clue why my post was marked with a WARNING I can't figure out what I typed or mis-typed.

A 12-ft shrub? are you serious?!!! Do you by chance have a scenic shot of it? It looks like a desert plant of some kind or at least a dry climate.

Sweet shot, nice colors, good DOF& the little hairs are always so cute.
