Great shots...so much color!
This makes me want to pull the trigger on the 100 Macro IS....I find myself using the 135 plus tube all the time....It would be so nice to hand hold at a little slower shutterspeed.
The 2 flower shots were on a tripod, from my yard...very easy to wait for good light. Yet for the butterfly..hand held(IS would be so nice)with flash. ISO had to go to 1600 to shoot that critter!
Here is a set I took yesterday at the SD wild animal park...Butterfly Jungle. I had so much fun with friends shooting these guys.

I am so glad you all are chiming in....I still remember the day I came to view, GONE.
And it is really about celebrating wonderful springtime!! Not about the gear...yet I think the thread will stay here... IF we chat a little in that direction....

Aaron, that third one is stunning!
The wide format gives my eye the opportunity to wander freely around the OOF circular highlights...and then back to the anchoring two pair of buds...
Great Work.

I usually try to shoot flowers with bugs on them... but here's one from the trails of the Santa Monica mountains from a couple of weeks ago:
and a couple of bugs on flowers from earlier this week...
(Obligatory Canon content): All shot on 5D2, the first two with 65mm MPE, the last with 300/4IS + 1.4x - those two lenses comprising my springtime flower and bug kit.
