A great set of images you have posted!<br /><br />I have had a May Bug in my garden the last two evenings, to be honest I can cope with mostinsects, even the odd spider, but the May Bugs give me goose pimples so I dash indoors.lol!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363526036551313101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657877595796583471.post-57529093178136261952012-05-28T10:19:57.234-07:002012-05-28T10:19:57.234-07:00Jan - Thanks, you are absolutely right about digit...Jan - Thanks, you are absolutely right about digital photography and the inverts...it opens up a whole new world to the eyes<br /><br />Bob - Cheers mateJason Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370640317306824066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657877595796583471.post-69710718142188055012012-05-27T13:26:39.382-07:002012-05-27T13:26:39.382-07:00Lovely set of hard to get, they are superb.Lovely set of hard to get, they are superb.Bob Bushellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819577478571292055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657877595796583471.post-63976137107383229492012-05-26T04:01:35.187-07:002012-05-26T04:01:35.187-07:00I missed part three! :-( What an amazing time you ...I missed part three! :-( What an amazing time you had Jason! And it seemed you had better weather than we did too. How wonderful to see the Otters, I would have loved that. So glad I caught up with the lovely Glossy Ibis photos.<br /><br />I love the invert season! I think that's where digital photography really comes into its own. There is something magical about spotting a tiny insect and then lookIng through the lens and seeing it magnified. That Small Purple & Gold is a pretty little moth.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657877595796583471.post-29068854529155388202012-05-26T02:12:29.910-07:002012-05-26T02:12:29.910-07:00Warren - I totally agree mate.
