Good closeups- does take some doing to get that close to a butterfly :). Like #1 best.

For whatever reason this guy/gal didn't quite where I was or what I was doing as long as I didn't interfer with the meal. It didn't even mind being touched, which my daughter thought was the coolest thing to do (at least the coolest thing at that time).

All hands. I am not yet willing to say that the Gorillapod SLR is worth it for low-to-the-ground support. And the only decent tripod I have has a support shaft that is too long for me to use it for this. One of these days I will get the support gear I want/need.
