<p>Self portrait with my mom in the Carneros wine region last week. She likes to visit me every April and we always have a lot of fun!</p>

<p>Rented an MP-E65 f2.8 Marco Lens and a MT-24EX Macro Flash for a week recently (spring break). Had lots of fun, and learned a lot about <em><strong>Uber</strong></em> Macro (thank you Canon for live view!). This is a herd of aphids indulging in one of my rose blossoms from the garden at 4 times life size. Only the smallest specimens seemed to stay in place, the larger ones quickly vacated.</p><div></div>

<p>Father Goose...</p><div></div>

<p>Airborne...</p>

<p>Incredible stuff as usual. My 70 - 300 seems to be having problems but I manged to get this at my first track meet of the year.</p><div></div>

<p>Ken-Thanks for the shout out.</p>

<p>Happy Canon Thursday<br>

<p>A lot of great work and variety again this week gang.<br>

Louis, that self portrait has the feel of an interrupted news spot from the 70's or early 80's, can almost hear the static.<br>

From New Egypt Speedway this past Saturday.</p><div></div>

<p>Thom, thanks for the compliment.</p>

<p>John C, wonderful shot of the Fort Bragg area. I ride my motorcycle up there every chance I get. One of the best places on earth.</p>

<p>Sorry, out of town at a professional meeting.<br>

but on the "better late than never" principle:</p>

<p>I think a Rock Wren, but could it be a Cactus Wren? This cutie was at the Grand Canyon South Rim.</p><div></div>
