I know I only stayed away from macros for two whole days, but I seriously risked getting stung in the face to take this photo so I had to share it. I escaped unscathed.
It's hard to believe that I have now been a part of the Aminus3 community for almost 6 months (as of October 23rd). What an incredible experience this has been for me! I feel like I am really focusing on my photography in a way that has never really been possible before and I love it! I never thought I would have enough work I considered "good enough" to put out there, but I am learning that not every image has to be "perfect". I look forward to reading through your comments every day - both the praise and the suggestions for improvement - and I love that I have been introduced to a whole world full of people who are as crazy about photography as I am. Time always seems to be in such short supply that it seems the best way I can respond to most comments is by visiting your sites. Thank you all so much for your comments and for sharing your creativity and vision.

What an amazing macro, I can't believe you got so close with the threat of being stung! I would have been too scared.

@Mackenzie: Thanks. Must admit I was a little nervous, but I took off as soon as he moved.
A very good macro photo. They are not so pleasant these animals but they are fine in picture

@Eric Fry: Yes, crazy as always. I hope that if i ever encounter a polar bear in the wild I will have enough sense to stay a little farther back, but somehow I doubt it.
