In a word...magic! I always knew that the best images are taken within 500 metres of home.

Beautiful photos Kevin,
I was wondering why you hadn't posted too much lately.
I like #3 and #4. #3 has a nice relaxing feel to it, just nice colours.
The gum nuts are also very nice with the blue and green in the background.
Now that you have the deck, you'll be able to relax and enjoy all those great plants in your backyard.
Cheers,
André

mitedo,
Now you have the deck, following this:
- Get the Wimberley, permanent mount it on the deck with the 200-400VR or 500 AF-S and shoot with fun, is it what you mentioned last time we met.
Good to see you're back with the power of the Nikkor 200f.4 and the D2x.
Stunning pics are always.

Kevin,
Nice series of shots, especially no's 2 and 4. A few are a bit rich in saturation but overall some nice close-ups.
Cheers

You can buy it directly from Wimberley.
What lens do you use with it? Nikkor 105 macro?

I knew I could get from wimberley but they have a waiting list and I figured a man of your stature and with your connections may have a shortcut

I really have to get me one of them!!
but then I will need a bigger tripod to hold it
maybe a longer lens to really reach out and touch

Shame I dont have any money.

Kevin - superb images. Razor sharp and with your trademark high sat. I keep coming back to that second image. I just love the colour contrast in it. I have to say though that I find the frames a little overpowering. Thanks for sharing these.
