Pond boatman and Water Skater

[jgs001]

Or rather that should be the other way around...

I thought to have a go at shooting some bees buzzing around the plants by the pond, but by the time I'd managed to find time to get out there, they'd all gone off for the day... Instead I had a go at these...

Pond Skater with the Raynox

Water Boatman without the Raynox, I didn't fancy dunking the lens in the pond to get close enough for the Raynox to get focus and they dove for the bottom at the slightest sign of motion... Not an easy target to shoot, being underwater...

Thanks for looking C&C is always welcome.

Nice bit of pond life John makes a suitable change from the other insects, last 2 for me.

Thanks Ant, Cheers Alby... I'd planned on bees, but they'd all buzzed off by the time I got outside to get these...
