OK...I got flowers now!  I was out this past weekend playing with my Tamron 90mm macro lens, and one subject I found to be lots of fun experimenting with was flowers (and the accompanying bugs!).  So finally, I have more flowers to share.

However, I might have to defer to the experts here as to precisely what flowers we are looking at, or bugs for that matter, as I am completely clueless as to flower names and can't identify most bugs other than general category (spider, roach, beetle, fly).

To start off, here's a very cool looking flower:

What it is...I have no idea.  I'm going with 'flower'.  :)

I'm back (with a new camera) and better than ever!  Hope to become more active around these parts.

Nikon d40.  I actually bought it late last summer and am just now finding and making time to really dive into it.  I've taken lots of snapshots of our new baby since August but not much else. 

I know its a little bit older camera but with me being a beginner and the price it is what I was comfortable spending.  It came with a kit 18-135 and I have since added the 35/1.8.  I think I'd like to add a speedlite, probably the SB400 to start to experiment with a flash.  I've probably read every post on this board (and learned a ton) but never had much to contribute.  Hopefully with a lightened work load and a Memorial Day Weekend WDW trip scheduled I'll be able to post a bit more.

Welcome back indeed!  Sounds like NAS is already kicking in.

Here's a 'candlestick cassia':

And I've also been told my other flower above is called a 'Gaillardia'.

Congrats on the baby Matt!

Just because it's "older" doesn't mean it's not a good camera.  Heard very good things about it.  I know of one internet legend who uses it as his main family camera.

No doubt about it.  But if I could just make this one purchase I'd be set....right??....right???

Thanks Roger, things have been fun for sure.  And I was gonna reference Bricker and his D40 as well as his SB400 but thought I might come across as a stalker...ha.
