Thanks Chris and Joe.....No " high end" camera(s) for any of my photos...most have been taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18....takes "macros"(close ups) to about 1/4" ...and at full 18 x zoom brings those creatures in quite clear....I think I paid around $200.00 for it 2 years ago....just a knock around "point and shoot" with a "fixed" lens....a fun little camera....there are many other cameras out there that are certainly just as good.....More importantly is "how"(composition,lighting, etc.) one takes the photo rather then the cost of the camera....many people don't realize this.....

Thanks Pat!....not really alot that "is" left except a variant of shots that already "are"...lol...actually every day is different with the camera and one never really knows what that day will bring....exactly why I like nature/wildlife photography....something to look forward to through the lens of the camera.....and mixed with the seasonal bluegill fishing of course....Life is good...
