I take my camera when I go running on the mountain. Right where I have been starting lately, there are a patches of white and purple flowers that can host interesting creatures. Today I had fun getting shots of this spider (very shy and elusive), a praying mantis and a kind of grasshopper (neither insect was shy or elusive). At the top of the mountain, well...later....

Nikon D40,
Micro Nikkor !05mm D
Natural light plus fill-flash
If you look at this photo for a little while, you may notice that the background color seems to shift from yellow to more and more green.
At least it does for me.... curious, auto-white balance in action
Taken in the same spot as yesterday's post, about 20 cm and a few minutes apart.
