Images From a Long Lens Macro Safari

My morning walk today provided a good opportunity to complete a self-assignment - shooting all pictures with a long lens (some with a close-up filter). This technique often provides for blurred backgrounds that help to emphasize blossoms or insects.

Since I was able to shoot many images, I am opting to share some here, but have put many more in a video. To view the video, please click on this link:

Following is a sampling of photos from today. Again, the video has many more with relaxing music.
