OK, this is really cool (photo intensive)

Have you ever had a lazy partner that always let's you do all the work? If so, then you should appreciate these photos. I was lucky enough to shoot them about an hour ago in my backyard. Thanks for looking!

Or maybe that's how they have sex :shrugs:

I think you caught them in flagrante.

So who do you suppose is doing all the work, the MALE or the female?

Those bee pics look good enough to publish in a gardening magazine. So perfectly composed. You know what you can do with an iPad? Zoom right in with just a flick, till you can see his teeny tiny hooks on his feet.

Thanks Nanci. I had to work hard to get some good ones with their 'tongues' in the flowers. The saying busy as a bee is well termed as they are constantly moving.

They look just like the emblems on the New Orlean Saint helmets, who by the way my Packers beat Thursday night

In the first bee pic I can even see the spiderweb in the flower behind him!

Bushes are covered with these orb spiders. This was a bigger one. He gave me a side angle so I could focus on his abdomen.

=( So jealous, I want a macro lense! Gorgeous pictures!

Dragon flys are flagrante. Great PICS.

Really cool pics. Print some out on good paper and put them in your county fair.
