Peony bud with ant - I've tried many times to photograph ants and have had little success.  I think it is because their bodies are mostly very shiny....they reflect the light so much.  Anyway, this is the best I've ever done with an ant and I like the bud, as well.  Hope you like it, too.  Be sure to look at it in the largest sizes to see the detail.  We're still in our every day some rain must fall pattern, but since we normally are very dry, we really cannot complain.  Hope everyone has a good start to the week!
