so I decided to slip by the holistic gardens on the way in to work. One of the benefits of this southerly latitude--other than the oppressive summer heat--is that there is still a fairly diverse bunch of critters about.

#1 Big hopper in the veggie garden(shooting w/52mm tube, so my apologies for cutting some of it off )

Excellent set Kenny

So when can I come out for a trip to the gardens and some BBQ?

Nice shots, Kenny. #3 is great (but it would have been nice if you could've captured the rest of his antennae.).

Agreed, but shooting as much extension as I am, everything just wouldn't fit, sorry to say.

Thanks Matt. I was struck by how much more 'interesting' the backend is than the frontend.
