Taffy was kind enough to let me use her 100 macro on our Picture Japan trip and I tried thinking of many ways I could get her to forget she brought it, or trade it for one of my lenses...but seriously, it is fun to be able to trade lenses (or borrow them) on a photo walk. This one was one of the finer macros that I got from the day's walking about Kinosaki, a hot springs resort town north of Kyoto.
Wonderful capture! I just took a butterfly shot today. My little p & s can't hold a candle to the clarity of this shot, but it's pretty interesting how similar the two butterflies are!
