Charlie, exquisite set! Razor sharp focus and excellent composition. I think #4 is my favorite

Nice shots...especially like the last one as it's a little different seeing something other than the petals of a flower. Good work.

Very nicely done Charlie, I have never seen a grasshopper that color before. Love the flowers.

WOW! Thanks for the great compliments... and encouragement. I sincerely appreciate them. I love flowers and insects as subjects for photography. Flowers, because of their intricate details and vivid colors. Bugs, because they are always a challenge (they hardly ever cooperate).

More to come tomorrow...
