Little creatures

One thing I love using my macro lens for is to capture little creatures.  There’s a certain challenge involved in capturing a tiny, flying creature and there’s much intrigue involved in seeing the tiniest of details – sometimes naked to my eye – come through so clearly through the lens of my camera.  I love seeing the intricacy and detail in the bodies and wings … it puts me more in awe of our Creator.  What an imagination he has!

Psalm 50:11 … I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects of the fields are mine.

A shout out to my honey who captured the last two shots.  I was in the pool with the kids when he spotted the red dragonfly.  Since it was different than any other dragonfly I’ve captured this year, he ran for the camera (yep, I think I’ve trained him well!).  Didn’t he do a great job capturing the amazing detail?  I especially love seeing how the wings are attached to the body.  And those wings?  I’m just in awe!
