Now, how about a close up of an ant hill....
Where I live the ants are tiny, less than 1/4 in long. These guys live in my backyard. I had to poor water on them to get them to come out (yes, I am a bad person) . After I got down to take this shot, I found the ants were crawling on my pants. Pay back!! I took this shot of the ants on a piece of wood, after they crawled out of their hill, because on the dirt I could hardly see them. The white things some of them are carrying are eggs.

For this shot I used my SMC A 50mm f/2.0 fitted with a +3 close-up filter.

Next up...I'd like to see a milkshake with a straw or spoon

Two bowls of ice cream.

For who's wondering, the shot was taken from a safe distance with a Revuenon 200mm @ f/4 on an *ist DL, no pp.




Now I would like to see a scavenger eagle.

OK, here's me and my daughter after climbing through a muddy cave in northern California. Our overalls are completely soaked in mud. I've posted 2 pics just to show how dirty we were. We really had fun crawling through the mud in that cave!!






Next up...I'd like to see a picture of sand dunes.
