Ready for the Ugly Bug Ball!!!

So .......... I took almost 150 shots of this bug until he got bored and flew away - out of those, I've kept five!

Yes, five from 150 and this was the best ..... very disheartening - I need a macro lens - soon!!!!

large if you must

The bug is astride a Cape Marigold (aka Rain Daisy aka African Daisy) - the flower is extremely pretty and I will probably take some shots of that tomorrow to show you all.

To be fair to myself this was handheld and no macro lens - so maybe not a bad effort but not as sharp as I would like.

Personal mantra ..... I will do better, I must do better, I want to do better ........ I WANT A MACRO LENS
