Aphids & Flowers

Here are some pictures taken in my neighbor's yard. They are growing some beautiful flowers. I went over there chasing a butterfly that I never found, but while I was there I found some photo-ops. Nikon N90s, Nikon 105 f2.8 macro, Flash, Aperture priority ~f32, Kodak E200 film
Update 11/31/02: Here's something from the last of the "Aphids" shooting. Our neighbors released hundreds of Ladybugs to take care of their Aphid population. I had carefully shot a bunch of print film of the ladybugs & aphids, which Eckerds promptly destroyed. I came home, mad, and dashed across the street to try to get some decent shots. Despite foul weather (rain & wind), most of the aphids were gone after 2 days. No longer super hungry, the ladybugs had time to attend to other matters, as you can see from the pic below. Scroll down to see the older photo gallery.
