although the picture's not very good of him...got a little close and need less depth of field...I FINALLY found a willing subject to photograph!!!
what a winning smile.....
I know...I know....pure corn!!
Here are some other shots I got yesterday....

yikes...a little over sharpened...maybe...need to tone down my web sharpening...perhaps....
These last two were shot in my neighbor's yard...I really needed a macro lens to get them better...but the bees were phenomenal...they had pulled the spikes off the stamen, as you see in the petal and were hovering over them to get the pollen...very neat....
I really don't want to limit myself to photographing nature, but it seems I get a lot of very nice shots when I go out looking...
I love these; I only wish I would have had a macro lens....
