    Yep .. strong California afternoon sun. I thought about some reflectors to shade, bounce and even up the lighting ... but I felt awkward about disturbing them while they were at their business ... the ant staring was bad enough ...

    :photo haha, the camera man...

    All jokes aside it's a great set - where is it still warm enough for lady bugs?

    The Ladybugs we found around here are more of an orange colour,
    yours look to be a very nice shade of RED, which I think are much prettier.

    Least you have a variety of things to photograph from your yard,
    but it helps if you have a garden doesn't it, and I don't have a garden.

    Thanks for sharing thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Nice shots! And now, to help you appreciate that California sunshine, know that my local forecast is for -32c tonight :cry. At least I don't have to mow the lawn!
