This morning after getting everyone fed and taken care of I decided it was time for some Photo therapy and playtime with the Macro lens....
Hover Fly on a wandering jew bloom.
Fly on Plumbago bloom.
I am just truly amazed at the photos I can take with the Macro lens. It is a totally different world and was shocked at the detail I was able to see...I never knew wandering jew blooms were so beautiful and loved the feathered beards around the stamens and pistol, Wow! This little fly is enjoying himself too!
Beetle on Wild Mum!
Plumbago bloom getting ready to open.
Beetle on Plumbago bud. I loved the water droplets! Which I didn't see until I pulled the photo up on the computer, Yikes!
Wow a Butterfly!
Wow a Butterfly! The butterflies are almost gone for the year but this one decided to grace me with his presence!
Sulphur Butterfly up close!
I walked over to the bird feeders to see if the birds had noticed the suet feeder when I look over and spot this little darl'in on one of the feeders...No I don't have birds...I have grasshoppers...and he seems to be really enjoying his breakfast, ARGH!!

My hummingbird is still buzzing around and I tried to get photos with the Macro but I've decided the Macro lens is not the best lens for hummingbird photos...I just couldn't get the speed up there...

Fantastic photos! I'd love a macro lens someday, but we only really have a couple months for taking photos like these. Not many macro opportunities in the dead of winter!
These photos are stunning!! I love the last one with the grasshopper!!
