I like this caterpillar one, it reminds of a puppy begging:

David, please tell us about your camera - and more photos please!

Oh dear! Now you're making me blush....I would hate to bore people with my pics, but I would just like to explain that my two passions in life are gardening & photography. Therefore, most of my pics are taken around my garden.

Camera? I have a couple, both of them are pretty low-tec compared with those available today.
1) Is a small Nikon 'Coolpix 3100' pocket camera.
2) A Olympus SP-51OUZ
The latter was used for taking the pics posted so far.

This is as close as I could get with a begonia:

Post by: Squash64 on September 14, 2010, 13:06:08: David, there is nothing boring about gardening and photography and it's lovely that you combine them both and get such excellent results.

I love the caterpillar one too. :)

Thank you!

Speaking of intense colours, this is a close-up of just a common old marigold:

Don't the morning glories look as if each flower had a tiny fairy light right in the centre? I love them.

Post by: garrett on November 26, 2010, 17:22:12: Great pictures, but that 'Elephant Hawk Moth' caterpillar would give me a fright if I came across it in the garden!

Post by: Robert_Brenchley on November 26, 2010, 17:35:54: They're pretty spectacular! Not frightening though in reality.
