Braved the dreary damp morning, some sights to share. The colors after a shower are fresh and soothing! 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50366756826_4f0ca3c4b5_b.jpg Raindrops on a Leucauge spider's web by Wild One , on Flickr 2. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50366061043_351d9d8061_...

Thanks a ton, gents!

dunksargent - Agree, I love the portability the Olympus system gives me
Dassi - Yes, was amazed at the unique coloration. Decided to leave the hole in the leaf as I too felt it balanced out the image

Got boxed in again for a couple of months, managed to break out for a few hours. Some finds from the field 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50261945062_ed09fee4a1_b.jpg Chance shot of a dead moth, almost looks like Darth vader 2. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50261094883_0794569dfc_b.jpg...

Thank you, gents

Fascinating and amazing set! The way the sawfly larvae consume just the outer layer of the leaf is pretty cool

Absolutely delightful set! That wasp mimicry on the last one is pretty impressive
The Neon colors on the moth cat are striking

Excellent environmental portrait

Lovely texture!
