Paper Flower. Its Autumn here in NZ and things are dying away. I liked the texture of this flowers petals, becoming more and more paper like. The mosquito's biting me while I took the shot felt pretty strongly about it too.

This was one of my first shots with my 100mm macro lens. I was half way through setting up the trip when this lil dude lands right in front of me. I stop messing around swing the camera and shoot. The settings were probably all wrong, the camera was loose in the tripod, but I don't care. I like this shot. One last thing, damn bumblebee's can book.

Honey Bees bad hair day. Found this lil guy trying to dry himself off, he was pretty wet, you can see all his hair slicked back. Got a few more shots of him even closer up, just have not had a chance to process them yet. Busy few days ahead of me :) Note to self, must get macro rails.
