Anemone hepatica
This is one of my favorite Flowers, it is one of the earliest in spring and on a sunny day like this, then there are many singing Birds, so that is why I call it a "Singing Flower"

Ranunculus glacialis

This Flower ca be seen on the highest Moutains of Norway, but it gets more uncommon, due to clomate change, other plants grow higher.

Papaver radicatum relictum
60mm
This Flower is a very rare subspecies, it is only found one place in the Mountains of Norway, it may likely disappear due to climate change, when I visited the site in June 2009, I only found 5 of these Flowers, the tree-limit was close to these Flowers, so maybe they have wanished today.

The rare intermediate wintergreen (Pyrola media)
110mm
I had not seen this rare Flower for many years, so I went to a place where I have seen them long time ago, I was happy to see that the rare Flower still was there. With my new Camera I can take photos at lower shutter speed, without using tripod or turn up the ISO, very nice ! This photo images is a crop of a much larger image

For Macro Photography you need to take you good time, find the right angle and try as good as you can to get the best possible sharpness at the right spot, here I chose the big red "dot" to focus on, not the front tip, but just behind the tip. It is by far best to use a real Macro Lens with MANUAL focusing, the Lens must have a long throw, then it is much easier to focus, do the first focus with the Lens and then you can move yourself a slightly bit back and forth until you nail the focus just where you want it to be. Be aware of how the background and the foreground looks like, use a larger aperture if it is too disturbing or get another angle. For this photo image I was laying flat to the ground to be able to get this shot, it is just about 1:1

South African Mantis finishing off a fly. I found this little mantis munching on a housefly and had an impromptu shoot with it. Very expressive poses
