Big Day - Little Things

Great morning in the wildflower meadow at Sweet Arrow Reserve. Still experimenting with extension tubes and my new Sync cord for my flash. The combo makes for a handful, but gives the photos much better lighting. All the photos are taken handheld - with the wind and movement of the bugs, a tripod would slow me down too much.
