Sometimes when looking at flowers through the macro lens I find neat little surprises.
Then my focus changes from the inanimate to the moving thing before me. Like this fly sipping from the raindrop.
Or this spider looking for a spot to sun itself.
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!
Love it Lisa! When I was shooting my black eyed susan photo's I came across a very strange bug - had a probiscus like a butterfly but was a long orange and white tube bug - I got a shot - but not as clear as yours are!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Macro Monday - I love being able to visit the other blogs of folks interested in the same kinds of photography!
Fantastic capture of insects, particularly of the fly, but of the others, too!
ReplyDeleteAstounding!
Awesome photos! I really like the spider :)
ReplyDeleteI like spiders more than flies :) so your spider is my favourite and I like his long legs and how you captured him :)
ReplyDeleteHappy MM!

Your fly shots are great! The upside-down spider's pretty cool too, though.
ReplyDeleteOh, I always find the insects more interesting than the flowers! Although that is a gorgeous purple ...
ReplyDeleteNice capture, especially the long-legged beastie. What a pretty green he is, and so elegant!
What Jay said! I found a lovely beetle on my daisies for this weeks post.
ReplyDeleteExcellent macros!
ReplyDeleteThese are such incredible shots - I haven't picked up my camera yet after a long week of taking pictures on vacation but this is really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYour macro shots are just awesome!
ReplyDeleteI too often find a bug on the flower that I didn't even notice when taking the picture. A nice surprise usually.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Lisa. I've been surprised a few times when I got my slides back and found tiny little critters that I didn't see when I was shooting. When you are lost in your viewfinder, it's a good sign.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous, Lisa. I'm glad you're not creeped out by insects.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise!
ReplyDeleteI suspect that little fly was on the beautiful flowers in your previous post. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this little green guy - such long legs and it was perfect that he chose a purple flower to provide such lovely contrast!
Awesome captures....but I do have to admit, that spider creeps me out! :) What superb details!
ReplyDeleteSuperb details Lisa.
ReplyDeleteYeah right! I happened to me once when I was taking a photo of little flowers and on it was a bee. When I took it and transferred it to the computer hey...there were 2 bees!
ReplyDeleteLisa...I am becoming addicted to Macro!
Stunning shots.
ReplyDeleteso beautiful...
ReplyDeletegreat shots Lisa. hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteThe macros are perfect but the creatures disgusting, especially the spider, lol !
ReplyDeleteReally awesome captures. I really like the first one of the spider.
ReplyDeleteAmazing images!
ReplyDeleteFantastic what we find when Macro is involved! Looks so fresh with the droplets

ReplyDeleteThose are great photos.
ReplyDeleteLisa sometimes I don't even see the little bug until I've put the photo on the computer screen to view. Great photos :) Rosie
ReplyDeleteLove your photos, they are just great! :)
ReplyDeleteThat spider looks like it's body is marked with a star!!
ReplyDeleteThese are FANTASTIC Lisa!
ReplyDeletePS - Thanks for continuing to host Macro Monday!!!
Wonderful shots, great colors ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your photos, Lisa. Especially the fly, nice details.

Love seeing insects up close n personal...fascinating.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots! I was grossed right out!
ReplyDeleteWow, those macro pictures are the coolest thing - the crispness is amazing. Beautiful pictures, even of creepy crawlies!
ReplyDeleteI like finding such nice surprises too. :)
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! I love the teeny little critters... but for some reason they make my neck itch. ;o)
ReplyDeleteGreat macros on the fly and on the spider !
ReplyDeleteI think Spiders are little creapy :)

ReplyDeleteWonderful captures ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm always delighted to discover I've captured some little surprise when I look at photos later.
Hugs and blessings,
OOOOH! Love the concept of this link-up. yay!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Beautiful flower with the fly. I dislike flies, but this one looks great through your camera lens—as does the spider, which I dislike, as well. ;)
ReplyDeletehi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI love Insects and other Invertrebates like Spiders. Intriguing they are, I think. Lovely pictures.
Utterly incredible, Lisa. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWow-- amazing creepy crawlies but I love the purples too.
ReplyDeleteNice macro view. Did you use flash? If yes, did it scare the insects? ;p
ReplyDeleteSuch absolutely lovely saturation in the colors! I have some spiders just like the one you've photographed in my garden right now, and my pictures aren't as stunning as yours. And I'm kind of mad at the flies right now. They were biting fiends during our bike ride on Sunday night!
ReplyDeleteYou nevere cease to amaze and delight with your macro work Lisa. I love the first shot especially!
