vinkie gave you the new page, BT and must say I'm really looking forward to more of your photos.
I know, I sound like a broken record, but your macros are really brilliant! The unIDed caterpillar
is my favourite as it is a kind of action shot. But all others are fantastic as well. The colours that
come with the creepy crawlies are amazing and enhance the actual motif very well. O:V
