Thanks, this is a great year for wildflowers here!

Thanks also for asking; yes, after finally getting the stitches out, and another biopsy, seems I'm in the clear. Been a very long 2-1/2 months!

Thank you so much! I was amazed at the detail, when the spider was so tiny, and extremely fast; the Sigma is a great lens, for sure!

I had one too but sold it as I prefer my Tamron Adaptall 2 90mm f2.8. I found the 105 to be too long in FL.

I notice you're using Pattern metering here on these shots. Have you tried "spot" metering for these? That's all I use for my macro shots and smaller f stops gets better details.
