I have been roaming around all weekend with the camera. It's a wonder I haven't been stung!

These little flowers are called sun jewels. It's not hard to see why they got their name.

Wow michelle, your captures are excellent. Great detail on those bugs. Love the blue coloured one and the flower is beautiful. You have really done a fantastic job and I'm glad you never got stung.

Glad you did not get stung.

The shots are very very good. I love the way you captured the intense color.

Thanks Jake, I've been trying to get a photo of some paper wasps ( I don't know if you have them) but haven't been successful. They always turn out blurry, I think it might be me not holding the camera firm enough, they always sting me when I'm doing the gardening.
