Quite nippy this morning on the trail but the cold allowed me to get quite close to the "subjects" as they were waiting for the sun to warm their little bodies ...here's a few macros....all taken with my Fuji s9000,super macro mode, hand held of course....

Sure like those bees, Jonny. Locusts always remind me of horror movie monster, but the bumblebees are cool.
