Sally..funny you should mention the wind. It does cause a problem sometimes. You just need to wait for the gust to finish its thing and then shoot. This last sunflower and bee shot was an example of this. This group of sunflowers by my front gate was loaded with bee's. The heads were heavy and hanging low. Just sat on the ground and waited. By the time I took the shot, only one bee was left on the flower. I have tried to flow with the wind , but it makes you dizzy!

This mantis was easy. No wind at that time, plus he was moving slow! He caught some spray from my watering before I noticed him. He was not to happy to get wet!


laurie1.. think you are right on the kaffir lily. It is a beautiful red. Thanks
