Thanks. BTW, the bee eventually crawled all the way into the core of the flower. Very interesting.

My wife tells me we have a tulip tree in the back yard. After 20 yrs in the same place, you'd think I'd have noticed by now.:mad2:

The wife's sweet peas.

Hey I like this one John. Looks like your filling your down time from baseball with some constructive photography. Nice job.

Thanks Alison. I was pleased with this as well. I used the Nikkor 105mm f2.8 macro with a 36mm ext tube and added a little light with the SB800. Everything was set to manuel and I was hand holding. A real balanceing act, but it allowed me to shoot at 1/200 at f22. Thanks for commenting.

Two more. Something a little different from my previous...
