Whoa. Would hate to meet that critter in a dark alley…
isn’t Spring Eve 31 Aug here in Oz?
I’m hoping you say you took this photo last year….because if not, then you have me worried, because I’ll be left with the twilight zone-esque problem of having to deal with being the only one in the world who’s still at the start of August
( nice shot by the way)
Ooops , I forgot all about August ! ( Honestly ) We had such a nice day today , it felt like spring and I just forgot about the next 31 days …
Nice pic! 
It is a nice picture.
Back to hibernation for another month old4570.
Very cool macro shot. Do you use a tripod?
Yea you had me tripping out also still a month to go.
It was warm yesterday about 25 degrees here. Today is wet.
Yeah , the cameras don’t get much of a work out in winter and I get a itchy shutter finger …
Tripod = No , way too cumbersome … I tried using a tripod a few times and got fed up with it in a Mucho Grande Hurry !
I know that the Pro’s use tripods a lot , and a tripods is a great way to macro …
But I’m a sniper ! My camera is pre-set ( ISO - shutter speed - F-stop ) and I simply look for opportunity .
When I see something , I move in and get the focus and shoot …
For this shot , everything was pre-set , I just had to get into position and push the shutter button … ( Full manual )
Yesterday was Nice !
Today was COLD ! Brrrrrrr !
9am it was 6 deg C , and it took till the afternoon to go double digit . 11.3 Deg C as I type this … 5pm
2nd of August …
