Default Hair everywhere!

An obvious bad hair day for this poor thing

Pretty flower with a hairy back!

Enough hair already! I present the svelte, waxed, and polished sweatbee also occupying my asiatic lilies

Patrick, I just love the colour on all of these. You've taken a beautiful set of pictures. The details are fantastic particularly the last one where the detail of the insect and the transluscency of the wings is stunning. Wow !!

That last shot especially was amazing. When I take macros of bugs, there is always part of it that seems to be blurred. That one is so clear and crisp. Very, very nice.

Patrick,
What beautiful pictures. They are all very nice but the last one, the sweatbee, is amazing. The shot is so clear and you captured the translucensy (sp) of the wings so well, love it. Did you actually take these pics with the kit lenses? I'm jealous...

Hi Patrick and what a brilliant set of captures once again. I have a good friend who would be glad of that bad hair day. Sorry Beach. lol These are all great Patrick but the last one. Wow. That is crystal clear mate and the detail in the wings of that little bee is outstanding mate. Your talent is endless buddy. Super work.

Jake.

Patrick, the last image is really a winner. THe bug is so sharp. The deatils on its wings and the colors of the body are nicely captured. Great macro shots friend!

For some reason I was expecting something from the musical "HAIR"...This is better. I'm partial to the second shot. So clean and simple.
