That is so cool my doggie pal! I love the yellow jacket. I can even see her hairs. This is going to be a blast playing with. Think of all the little creepies that you can really get to know. I'd love to see a praying mantis!
Bravo! 4 paws up!
That must be a great new lens because these are excellent pictures! I can't even tell which one is my favorite. I'm scared of spiders though so probably not that one.
Wow, how cool!
Love Mandalas and this one is exceptionally captured---thanks Pup friend! Do you know more about this piece?
