Last year had been the fiesta of the slugs in my garden. This summer, it´s the season of ants. The type of ants we have are black or rather brown in color. Just have a closer look at the macros I made....they are really brown . As usual they were so industrious roaming on that trumpet vine searching for something to gather. Since there was a bit of wind yesterday, I had the idea of cutting the trumpet vine (flowers) from the branch and placed it on top of a table.

1/8 Sek. f/5,6 50 mm ...ISO 400, macro extension tubes, shutter cable release used

I spent almost an hour to take shots of them. It´s difficult to take photos because they are always on the move. And so I set the tripod and attached the extension tubes of my camera for these macro shots.
