Come on pj, be truthful, you only go to work to take photos, don't you?
Great shots, love the spotted legs on no. 2.

Great macros. They are all good. My favorite is the second one. Like the green on yellow and the detail. What kind of bug is it?

Well worth the wait Patrick, These are amazing, your focusing is so good and the detail in these bugs is so clear and sharp. Your lunchbreaks are becoming quite an attraction mate. Super work Patrick.

I see you are still having some macro fun. Some interesting subjects indeed. I think #2 and #4 are my favs. Great colors. Besides the pollen on #4's leg you can see the little hairs on his back, great detail! Very nice bug collection my friend. This is the best way to collect them.

I do take the camera with me to work...every once in a while I'll just kick back and have a burger and watch tv for lunch....most of the time it's rain that does that to me......Now it's getting really hot and it is not so much fun to be outside

Everybody loves the second...Interesting what people pick. I personally think that this bug is hard to see and the viewer has to work too hard to appreciate it.

Yes, macro fun as long as I have got this lens, plus I am running out of ideas!
