After a long absence...

[Moebius]

Haven't posted in a long time (you may remember me from the 75+ segment Amazon series a couple years ago); developing my style and further perfecting my technique.

Here are just a few recent pics from my backyard Wildflower garden




The two pics below are of a fly smaller than a long-legged fly but slightly larger than a gnat. Did not see the mites on him until I reviewed the pics.






All taken with Canon 30D, Sigma 150mm, full set of extension tubes, 580EX w/ diffuser.

Hi Ken and yes you are remembered. Beautiful images and I hope to see more. The last two are very interesting. I have never seen anything like that.

Ken, welcome back!

Those last two pictures are interesting. I'm thinking it might be a couple of mites hitching a ride on that little fly.

Hello Ken (I got my hand out) really nice to see you again. I like the composition of the first one and the fly with the Mites (?) are fantastic and different. I wonder how they sneak up on the fly and hitch a ride . Hve you gone on any great trips lately? Actually your last post was # 89

Looks to me like it mite be some kind of tiny beetle but it probably is a mite. Of course one mite never know what one mite come across these days. Interesting shots by the way, welcome back there Ken.
