  6. Should I change from my 18 - 200 mm lens to the new micro/macro lens, the one that hasn't yet been freed from its box? And what will I take photos of, what small up-close-and- personal things that I usually shun because I'm focusing on the big picture?

  10. Prickly...the first thought that comes to mind. If you like ants though, we've got hundreds of red ants all over our property.

  17. you know, I have great respect for ants. I love seeing them outdoors, and I even expect to have them as picnic guests. But we've had an infestation in our kitchen of black ants and I'm not feeling so generous-hearted toward them there! But the picture? rockin!

  21. Hi Beth,

    This even makes the bud look like a carniverous plant. The ant better watch out!
