Bees and flying insects can often be found inside flowers where they have spent the night. I often discover bees under the leaves (or flowers) on coneflowers in the early morning. As an added plus, you just might capture insects covered in dew.
Fall is a great time for capturing images of insects. The cooler morning temperatures mean that insects are more lethargic and easier to photograph. These cold blooded creatures need the warmth of the sun for energy and can often be spotted perched on flowers in the morning sun. They may also be spotted under or on foliage. To get the best shots, aim for early morning when the rays of the sunlight highlight them, but before they have had time to become lively from the heat of the sun.

Today's image is a macro photo of water drops on the window pane. I love the silvery color as it reminds me of metal. Sometimes, water drops produce reflections of the surrounding area or pick up interesting colors from the background. These drops where photographed early in the morning before the sun was fully up. They reflect a gray or colorless sky on the other side of the window.
Today's photo was taken last May with a vintage film camera macro lens on my DSLR using an adapter. This lens does an amazing job of capturing the sparkle in dewdrops and is great in good light. It doesn't match my 85mm Macro for all-around shooting, but if the conditions are right it can capture amazing shots. As an added bonus, the vintage lens creates a hexagonal bokeh; whereas, modern lenses create round bokeh.
