looks like our L.A. freeways! Nice macro, how'd you attach the 5omm lens/ Thats great. I have to get out our old lenses...

Thats a cool abstract!

So thats what a dragonfly eats, I always wondered! So they have sunday bar-b-ques too, eh?

Nice shot, love the bokeh too.

Peter, your photo is really good. Beautiful clarity, and portrayal of personality there! He almost is cute! I have to admit, since I've been photographing them, I'm not so afraid of them [which is hard to admit anyway ]

What a great opportune shot. It has a herringbone texture to it. Very nice indeed. Yes, I like spiders small like that....

Wow, you could almost do an eye examination! I love the black and white giving it a contemporary quality.

Amazing shot mplonsky. I love the whiskers. So thats where their eyes are! You have renewed my faith in my 20D.

Thanks everyone. Mike, I had not heard of the ladybugs in the Sierras. I didn't know they lasted more than one year. Thats interesting! [I guess I better know a little more about my subjects!] The 20D is awesome, but I struggle with size/changing lenses, no LCD screen/darker photos. I have a bad nec...
