i don't have an actual macro lens so this is just hand-held with my 18-55mm. i just couldn't believe how much pollen this tiny, the flower is a 3/4" buttercup for scale, wasp/bee had managed to accumulate on itself. i think it was actually having trouble taking flight because i was able to try 5 or 6 shots before i went back into work. the bosses youngest daughter and i were out getting her a 'roly-poly' bug (which i grew up calling potato bugs) for a pet and as i've said before...i do carry my camera almost everywhere.
dita requested to see some of brianna's, miss geniality in my dailies, drawings so here are a few (super-stressed mommies are like the nice man pointing a gun at you, do everything they tell you) plus one of my fav fun pics of her

walked past this rhododendron on the way to the mother's day party at my step-moms and couldn't resist stopping to shoot it. i'm back home so will hopefully be catching up on what beautiful and interesting pics i've missed over the week-end

I may have overdone the effects on this. For comparison, the original is in my birds gallery. :-)

the reason I kept this shot is because my mother almost invariably closes her eyes when someone is taking her photograph-

Meet Grace

Grace will soon be a mama, and I plan to make regular house calls to check on her progress.  If all goes well, we'll create a little gallery for her and I'll tell more of her story as time goes on.  To protect what privacy she has left, that's about all the information I care to share at this time.    

Oh . . . I looked her up and I think she's a Killdeer.
