Round Robin Challenge: Tiny Things

the first idea was to photograph tiny inanimate things, but karen reconsidered and now says anything tiny can be used for this challenge.  this was great news for me, as i would rather shoot insects and wildlife...anything involving nature...as stills....so from my backyard...tiny insects and flowers....

and now from my butterfly safari at the huntsville botanical gardens ....

those small yellow things are butterfly eggs...and the butterfly you see here is depositing more eggs.  notice her abdomen curled into the plant. 

a monarch to be....

and to show that 'tiny' can be a matter of perspective....

  My goodness, woman, you have got to have a show at a gallery! Every week you post all of these astonishing photographs. I don't know which is my favorite out of this set, although I am really partial to butterflies but the tiny insects on the leaves are also exquisite--wonderful color, perspective, and composition.--Sheria

  These are amazing! I can't believe you've caught that fly in flight so clearly in the first shot there. And the butterfly laying eggs in the crook of that tendril ... pure magic.
  
  I love close-up work, but I have no luck at all with moving, live subjects so far. Your shots are an inspiration.
