Mad for Macro in the Meadow


This morning I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to photograph some grasshoppers! I rolled out of bed while the rest of the house was sleeping. I grabbed my macro lens and a tripod and headed out the door. My destination was a small meadow below the dam at Lake Emily near my house here in Northern California. I knew I would find some grasshoppers there. The cool thing was is that I found quite a few other insects as well.There were bumble bees, butterflies,hoverflies and even earwigs. I had a great time crawling around on my knees and getting down low on my belly.I'm really happy with many of the images. Take a look and see.

God's love and blessings to all,

chris
