Woodlouse spider with their hand on a drop line sitting there waiting for prey. I call this one "The Hand of Levi" after my good buddy.

Bubbles can be a pretty darn interesting subject. 3 parts water, 1 part dish soap, 1 part glycerin and put it in the fridge for 24 hours. Grab a straw and have some fun :) #macro #macrophotography #omsystems #olympus @ak_diffuser @omsystem.cameras

More of my flower collection I have been doing. I really enjoy doing these. I think they're just simple and pleasing. Enjoy!

First try at using some lights and mushrooms. What are your thoughts? Good criticism is always welcome! #macro #macrophotography #omsystems #olympus #natgeo #mushroom #macro_mushroom #wildlife @ak_diffuser @omsystem.cameras

Always keep your eyes out when you are done and walking back from your walks! It was a dull day with no real finds and then I came across this grub in the parking lot. Turned out pretty good! #macro #macrophotography #insects #omsystems #olympus #natgeo #insects #insect #bugs #wildlife

I need your opinion please! It would really help me out on my end. Do you like the one with or without the green? Thanks!

Does anyone know what flower this is? I was fascinated by a whole patch of them. The hairs and the fact the flowers were all facing down had me fascinated. #macro #macrophotography #insects #omsystems #olympus #natgeo #spiders #spider #bugs #wildlife @ak_diffuser @omsystem.cameras

Common grasshopper found out on my morning hike. OM-5 w/ 60mm macro and 2.5x Raynox on the front. What's one of your favorite shots you've taken? #macro #macrophotography #insects #omsystems #olympus #natgeo #spiders #spider #bugs #wildlife @ak_diffuser @omsystem.cameras

A small collection I took the other day during a hike. Which one is your favorite? #macro #macrophotography #insects #omsystems #olympus #natgeo #spiders #spider #bugs #wildlife @ak_diffuser @omsystem.cameras
Bright pink flower with yellow hairs protruding from the center a flower with a collection of white, pink, and yellow concentric shapes in the middle radiating outward. Bright pink flower with a collection of dark pink hairs in the middle. Small highlights given by yellow stamen coming from the middle. pink flower that has slightly dried up so the edges of each petal are curling over. This forms an almost perfect pattern around the entire flower.

The face of a grub I found under a log. Caught 2 frames of him just before he ran away into the wood. Never to be seen again.
