I used SNU_AlterLife for this page.
Journaling reads: This afternoon I took my new lens extender tubes out for a little test run. The kids and I were looking for insects to identify for our insect lesson. We found lots of beetles, bees, flys, ants and even a Monarch Butterfly. Some insects are better observed at a safer distance though. Like grasshoppers! One benefit to shooting through glass is that there is a real physical barrier between myself and . .those things! Grasshoppers. . . well I don’t like them, . . at all! They gross me out! I honestly hate grasshoppers! But through a macro lens, I can start to appreciate them.The almost beautiful look of their compound eyes, their wings and each link in their long antennae, each of their three body sections, and their legs. I can actually see the parts we learned about. Creepy though they may be, they really are quite amazing . A creature I can appreciate. . .through the safety of my lens.
