So really tend to try to keep out of their way. Scotkat - Scotland, Zone "?"   Malgorzata  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Tuesday, October 02, 2007 - 05:07 am EST :    Yuck!

Malgorzata, i apologize for the chills. i have a canon point and shoot camera, a powershot S2 IS, nothing fancy. also, i miss being lost in tokyo... i love japan. Steve, i will be waiting for some pictures of them now... Diogmites - ar, Zone "6"   Lovinlife  Posted on Tuesday, October 02, 2007 - 11:38 am EST :    That's an outstanding photograph, Edward. I confess that I don't care for either spiders or wasps, but if the wasps would eat all the spiders I'd be happy to tolerate them.

Great photo!

They must have fixed the lack of macro with the S2 Duckwatcher - Northern California, Zone "9b"   Malgorzata  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Wednesday, October 03, 2007 - 07:52 am EST :    i have a canon point and shoot camera, a powershot S2 IS, nothing fancy Edward, you do know your camera well and take great shots with it. Another proof that the most important is the person behind the lens, skill and the eye!
