It has been very tough to find subjects lately. We don't have a sub-freezing winter like many places, but there are still few things about. However, I did manage to find a really cool bird-dropping spider a couple weeks ago, and there have been some ants farming aphids recently in my yard, so it's not a total loss. Also, I did a zoom series of a beautiful yellow lily I picked up at the store last week. Thanks for stopping by 
Bird-dropping spider:
Ant farmers at 4:1 on crop sensor (background lit with slaved 580exii). Notice the honeydew drop in the mandibles of the top ant. In trying to get a good shot of this behavior I realized that it is extremely difficult to capture the actual drop exchange, because it is quite fast:
Lily I (24-shot stack):
Lily II (37-shot stack at ~1:1):
Lily III (45-shot stack at ~3:1):
