Nature Photography

I discovered the wonders of macro photography today. I was walking around my backyard, stressing out about my HSC, enjoying the cool air, and I stopped to look at my rosebush (well, technically not mine but since I hacked pruned it, it's mine).

IT WAS COVERED IN APHIDS.

Nasty little ugly green things that attack roses. Anyway, I went to take a photo of it, but the damn camera just wouldn't focus properly. Grrr! Then I discovered the macro setting, and OMG voila! The most amazing pictures came out! Looky look:

A rosebud being raped by aphids. So vibrant!

Another bud! I love the young red leaves.

Oh! Pretty little ladybug.

It's a spider trying to eat Mr. Ladybug.

OMFG. I found a green spider! KEWL!!

Aren't these photos amazing? And I don't exactly have the steadiest hand either. ROFL. Anyway, co-op applications close tomorrow, then I can freakin' get on with my life studies...

Ciao!
