p.1 #1Mercer Arboretum pt I
Went down to Mercer Arboretum in Houston TX for a few hours this morning. Pleasant morning, for a change. 
Took the Canon 20D and MP-E w/reversed Telemore TC. All shots handheld.
#1 Syrphid fly Ocyptamus, I believe http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4122/4935741536_9e22043af7_o.jpg
#2 A butt shot, as Phil would say

Looking good, Kenny. I might have to snag a 2x tc someday just to mess with that setup

Thanks fellas, appreciate your comments.
Tom - the weather was a little cooler...don't think we had the lows you guys in BigD did, tho. Still, it was a nice break from 100+F everyday.
