@psychographer Thank you, Lisa! With zoom or macro, many of these require patience, a very steady hand or both!
@michelleyoung Another fave from Michelle: thank you so much!
@suek Thanks for the fav, Sue! I really appreciate them all!
@maggiemae If we can get in "tight" on some of the "faces" in the bug world, they really can be quite expressive. It's astonishing sometimes! (Creepy, sometimes, too!)
I love skippers - which will be photo for tomorrow. I know all about kuh-ching - our last house was a century old fixer-upper. Major kuh-ching until we sold it last month after all the renos. ;-)
@sailingmusic Thanks so much, Myrna. I was pleased it made the PP!
@russianblue I'll have to check your skipper. I shot another one yesterday but I haven't been able to figure out what kind. The plumber is here as I type. Replacing all faucets. I guess we have "a house of a certain age"!

@espyetta Sexy, indeed! Indeed, the "eyes" have it!
@harley84 @ellen @marieooi @allisonrap @ruthmouch @aspada @paulavdmerwe @annbo @lyoungs1023 @rhos Thank you, all, so much. I guess since I posted so many flower shots last year, I'm looking more closely at the life that's teeming around the flowers and plants!
