Howdy, It's only Sunday, but the day was perfect for some macro photography and #macromonday isn't all that far away! I've been looking for work online and taking care of my poor hound dog, who lost his sight about a week ago, trying to help him out. Mostly, this involves being outside with him. He has been afraid to be in the yard alone, but he seems to have gotten more comfortable with it. I had my camera with, set up for macro photos, so I was at least productive!

Apparently they like me. This little guy was climbing a stem to a turk's cap lily and eventually worked himself into the perfect pose. It took him about twenty minutes to go from setm to flower, but my patience paid off.

This little moth is commonly referred to as a "humming bird moth," because of the way the mimic their namesake bird. They move and even *sound* like humming birds. I snapped about twenty shots of this one as she flew from flower to flower. I'm not sure how my focus hit so perfectly as she flew up from behind this flower. Her eyes are tack sharp!

I guess it's a good thing I only took a photo of it. [![MM201920190804EOS_5617.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/fotosdenada/TlkSUHSG-MM201920190804-EOS_5617.jpg) ^{Demon Bug?}](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/fotosdenada/TlkSUHSG-MM201920190804-EOS_5617.jpg) Here's a very red critter. I'm not sure what this one is, either. I had to post one more photo of the katydid. This was one I got before he climbed into the flower petals. My old Canon 7D doesn't do well with focus, and macro photos are even trickier. To get the katydid in focus, I set the camera to high speed burst on manual mode and slowly changed the focus from back-focused to a little front-focused. Usually one or two out of ten are sharp, when I can do that.
