Macro Fun

After a wonderful Saturday spent with my girlfriends, I am a woman of few words today!  So hopefully you will just enjoy these photos I took out in the yard today.  Happy Spring!

Ant

I thought he OD'd on pollen but after a nap he got right back at it!

Ready for your closeup Mr. Bee?

Anyone who knows me knows how much it freaked me out to take this picture!!! And now to look at it!

Blurry...but I will get a better one before summer is over!

Butterfly Wonderland

The weather has been so beautiful in Phoenix that it gave me the itch to get out with my camera.  Sometimes, however, I'm bored with my immediate surroundings and I didn't really want a road trip.  So yesterday I visited 'America's Largest Butterfly Atrium.'


I filled a 16gb card in less than 2 hours.  I saw grown men giggling as butterflies landed on them.  I felt butterflies alighting on my head (couldn't get a photo of that).  It was a lovely afternoon and I hope you enjoy the MANY photos.
