Macro Preview

This is a longhorn (borer) beetle on a blue lace cap hydrangea blossom. I tried working with the extension tubes but it was just too hot for fussing around today. This was shot with my usual Sigma 18-125 zoom lens.

Great shot, Allison! The hydrangea is beautiful, such soft tones, and the beetle the icing on the cake.
