Don't Fly Baby

For the first time I went to take a macro photo when I finished work today and my subject seemed to be sunbathing in the late evening sunlight - he didn't move a millimetre while I shot 7 or 8 shots....then I tried it with the flash on to try and get better detail and focus and after the second flash he flew away. Still my son said the flashlight on the yellow flower looks like fairy dust!!? (I think it looks like flash and should have used the diffuser!!?)

Still this is by far my best attempt and I will keep working at it and try to find willing subjects.

Also found a lovely little spider in the middle of his web but the wind kept blowing him in and out of focus - perhaps someone has some tips as I tried to block the wind with a towel but it kept getting in the way as the web was lit up beautifully by the sun at the time?
