mandi, getting there-- just like being a professional writer. but photography seems to like me and so I will be doing much more of it in future and submitting more to contests and for travel articles as a writer.

thanks Jihaan and Tom, I appreciate the compliment. Was great way to spend the day exercising my arm muscles. surprising how much stamina it takes to stand in any position for a long time. and these little guys keep an eye on you, on every little move. poof--they're gone

some piics, rathe the majority were taken less than a hand widths from the victim under the lens-- so really stealth tactics on these little fellas

the bees-- some were even closer, but in evening they are drowsy

you're more than welcom. next time I go to srbsko, I'll try to take some pics of the area, but ran out of batteries and memory

and was ever so beautiful there. even more than Benatky-- hear that froggi? build me a castle at Srbsko -Tetin while you're into castle-building.

Thanks for all the comments-- and Steve P, I have patience only under certain conditions, and to some people they know me only as the dreadful Baba Yaga

Truly beautiful, Mary. You are so very talented at what you do. A gift for nature photography closeups. You bring them life on the celluloid.

Mary C Legg Jul 18, 2006, 2:02am EDT

nice compliment, but don't overwork your imagination-- celluloid hasn't been around for ages, and this is digital, albeit straight photos. just sigged, is all.

thanks again.
