Wonderful macro Shirley, these guys are difficult to capture!! <>< #11714144

Shirley D. Freeman July 12, 2018

Thank you, Nancy. I just tell them that they have pretty eyes, and they stay put for the photo shoot, at least sometimes that works! I have the camera and diffuser in between me and them too, and so I am not so much of a threat to them. <>< #11714145
