I am back from one week in Crete. Arrived 5 o'clock this morning. You probably expected something else to be my first posting, but I have practiced almost a whole week to do a macro of an insect. Around the swimming pool it was a hedge with lovely smelling white blossoms (have of course shot some of them as well) and it was crawling with bees. While the rest of the bunch was sunbathing around the pool, I was hunting for the perfect macro. It was actually a lot more difficult than I expected, but I think this one was one of the best, and I am actually quite proud of it.
