One of the first macro photos I took. Got this after a good rain right outside my house. This was pushing the boundaries of what I can get with a handheld shot. Sony's optical steadyshot, both in the camera body and on the lens, makes this a doable handheld, but really I should have not been lazy and just busted out the tripod.
Discovered this awesome swimming hole exploring on last day of our trip while we were hiking out of the wilderness.
Nice shallow depth of field on this budding cholla cactus.
