It was a glorious day for clouds here in Alabama this Sunday. I had every intention of shooting some time lapse frames however my gear had other ideas.

Fortunately there were also some nice light summer subjects for me to point the macro lens at. It can be challenging this time of year, often you will find plants struggling to get one last burst of life in before going dormant for the winter. The bugs are also at the end of their life cycle. Butterflies and dragonflies have battle scars on their wings. Spiders are laying egg sacks and giving up their lives. However patience and flexibility can get a photographer through the challenges.
