Looks as if these critters were enjoying an early morning drink from the rain drops on the allamanda flowers. I am particularly pleased with the macro photograph of the ant and it’s my sharpest one yet of these tiny, tiny insects who don’t stay still for long and are not terribly cooperative when it comes to being at the end of my lense! I also managed to score a bonus star of light and illuminated spider’s web strand on the second shot. A successful photo shoot of my early morning garden guests.
