Bugs!

It was for the tidy compactness, and hence its easy portability, that I chose this darling new little camera.  In the last few weeks, I've gotten to be about 85% successful at forming the habit of stuffing it into my pocket whenever venturing out into the world.

Today, as I approached the rose bushes where I lucked onto that shot from yesterday's post of the bumbler foraging, I had my camera at-the-ready: macro-focus and -metering preset . . .

 

(For those interested, this cropped image was originally digitized with a Sony DSC-W830, through a ZEISS Vario-Tessar lens recording to a 7.76 mm CCD, at 400 ASA, f8, 1/160 sec, and the max 20 megapixel resolution.  Oh, and I paid amazon.com $88 for the little cutie!)
