Default Macros, but no dragonflies I promise

I realize I have been showing a lot of dragonflies lately and I am sure everyone is getting a little tired of seeing them. These are some shots I took yesterday between rain storms.

This flower was opening up after the rain. The raindrops are all on the other side.

The circadids were emerging and singing everywhere

Your first picture reminded of a brides dress, Irish lace and beautifully shaped to the body and flowing on the floor.
The second were the attending bridesmaids, both are wonderfully presented. A excellent pair of pictures wildjob, you have a good eye.

And then you do like your creatures

Some very detailed work here wildjob and some excellent captures too. I like the second one best and the colours of the bug in the third one, but all great. Good work wildjob. I don't get sick of seeing your dragonflies.

Jake.

Wildjob, this is a beautful set of macro shots. I like the petals of the first photo and I agree with Beach being reminded of a bride's dress. Nice capture of the insect by the way!
