I ordered some extension tubes for macro work, to replace the finicky reversed-lens method, and they happened to arrive on a day we had freezing fog. I couldn't resist having a play out in the cold with them and I must say I'm impressed with their ease of use compared to the reversed lens, (for reference see the woodlouse picture below) although I think there is more chromatic aberration. More experiments are needed but I'm pleased with these shots as a starting point.

This is a little mouse I saved from a friends bath, years ago, where it had been imprisoned by their cat. It was released back into the wild unharmed. I think it was a wood mouse but I’m not sure. Note: I absolutely didn’t intend for the flash to fire when I took the picture.

Another White-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus Lucorum) for you.

It's very interesting to look at your wildlife pics. They mostly look like alt versions of what we have in Missouri. Except the starlings. We have those.... Are they horribly pesky at your birdfeeders too? Any tips to help keep them away and let the smaller birds eat?

Thanks, I enjoyed your photo's as well. Regarding the starlings, I can't help you there I'm sorry, the ones in my garden are fairly timid and are often bullied away by the sparrows. It's interesting to note the different behaviour.

Hello Tumblr, would you like to meet my cat friend who used to help me out when I was working on cars where I used to live?

I never knew his name, but he got me through some tough times. Thank you cat friend.

The happiest moment of my life. Perks of being friends with a zookeeper. (who said after I got out of the enclosure "I can't believe they didn't bite you". Thanks dude, didn't know they were likely to!
