I got a very mixed bag this morning. It was overcast so the light wasnt too great.
Anyway, here goes.

1. I like the hairs on this leaf.

2. I dont know what this bug is, some sort of chitin[sic] that burrows under the litter.

    Nice shots Steve. The tendrils and the feather are my favs.

    I like the lady bug Steve thumb.gif Although I'm not sure if it is actually a lady bug... That little fella in #2 is a slater bug (pill bug, wood louse...). The water drops on the leaf is cool too.
