Default The Softer Side

Good Morning DPS Family! Today I'm posting a few flower shots taken in our Orchard in Surin Thailand.

Beautiful Orchid

Angela liked this one with the bee on my Flkr site, so I thought I'd post it.

And I just couldn't help my self. I really liked the colors and the textures in this one.
Mooned by a Spider! This fellow was so small that I just barley saw him, less that 1/8th of an inch long. I used the Canon 100mm IS USM f/2.8 Macro Lens with a 25mm extension tube and the Canon MT-E-24 Macro twin flash.

Well, I'm off to work, but I wanted to wish you a Blessed Day. I hope you enjoy these!
Michael

Good morning Michael. I love all your flower shots but yes the bee and yellow flower is my fave. I like the crisp sharpness of the bee and the close perspective of the flower. What a superb shot of a teenie-tiny spider.

The first two are wonderful Michael, roll on spring in the UK.
The final two are outstanding, especially the spider. What detail and colour, thats some outfit you've got there and you know how to use it
