I am thrilled to have been nominated as a FINALIST in @flamingirl's 7 DAY STEEMIT MACRO PHOTO CHALLENGE. I could never have imagined getting to this position in my wildest dreams. I don't have the best camera and I have zero camera gear - such as light diffusers, external flash units, nothing. Just my trusty Canon Powershot and nature on my doorstep. I have not achieved many perfect macro shots over the past few years for this reason. I have to truly persevere and just sometimes I get blessed with a beautiful result.. along with a hundred mosquito bites. The bites are worth the results though which is why every day I am outside with my camera looking for the best shots I can get.

This is my photo that got me to this space of selection for the final. The prize if I win is 50 sbd.

from the same shoot but not as amazing....
