Finally a day to myself

Finally a day to myself · Posted by codiac2600, 06-15-2009, 12:30 PM

I've been slacking in doing my own personal work so today against all odds I stepped outside and went to my favorite little park on the side of the road and walked around for a few snapshots before work.

C&C is welcome and as always, enjoy!

#1: Damselfly

#2: Yet another damselfly

#3: A loving pair of hover flies

#4: A beautiful wild Iris

#5: I believe this guy picked the wrong flower to hide in? Not so sneaky...

#6: Ahhh, a lady bug... doing what lady bugs do

nice series, and yes, it's nice to be able to spend a few minutes making 'us' (shooters) happy...
by the way, number 3 could be titled, 'get a room!'

Great job as always Chris....I want to steal that ladybug for my background here at work

Nice to see you taking some time out, I really like #2 and #3

Lovely macro work from you Chris.
Razor sharp with beautiful colours.

Nice photos

are they K-7 samples?

Seriously beautiful. Good to see you shooting macro

you've always had a good rapport with the winged insects, Chris. They look so relaxed in front of the camera, how do you do it?

I like the blue damselfly in #2 best out of all of them, and the bokeh on #3 is really oustanding.

Very Good! Thanks for sharing

You should take a little time for yourself more often. Good stuff.

Excellent series. Well done.

**Marc Langille** · 06-16-2009, 07:16 PM

Agreed - about time you got out and did your own thing...

Thanks for sharing these Chris! The HoverFlies are top notch!

Regards,
Marc
