Default Wild grasses and a web

After this perfunctory flower, I included a couple of shots of the husks on the ends of the wild grasses we have growing out in our fields...I was amazed at the amount of detail in these things. The last is picture taken of a web that my son and I found one night late. He basically shined his flashlight on it so as to illuminate it sufficiently to take a handheld exposure. They are quite the work of art.

Yes, isn't it awesome to see so much new blood here on the board. Welcome all! I was about to go to bed Patrick, as you can imagine I am wiped out after a day with Chuck E. and my girls. But then I saw your thread and had to look. Boy am I glad this was my last sight before I go off to dream. Great photos as always! Such beautiful detail in every one of them. I love the vivid colors in the flowers and the grasses look so soft and delicate. That web is awesome. I love the angle, the detail and the glistening dew drops. Beautiful set!

If you used only 18-55 or 55-200 mm lens, wow I am impressed with the sharpness of the photos here and your skill in capturing photos. These are superb macros. I think I need more practice in this field of photography.
