Wow, I found something I haven't shot before.

I've been having bad luck shooting ever since I came back from my trip. It's becoming Fall quite quickly here in North-Western Ontario, and it's getting harder to find subjects to shoot. Almost all the flowers have bloomed, and I've been shooting nothing but bees and flies lately. It has also been raining off and on for the past 3 days, so I've been running out to shoot anytime there is a break in the rain.

I shot this guy hiding in a flower from the rain and heavy winds. In the first shot I believe he is munching on some pollen. Not sure what sort of insect it is, but I haven't seen one yet. Luckily a few of the 70 shots I took of it turned out decent.

Comments and critique more than welcome. I'm still new and learning.

Thanks.
