This is the unedited version which I kind of like better looking back.

Found a dead butterfly that had died over night considering the condition it was in. I found an ant crawling around on it and snapped a few pictures.

Walked outside and within a minute or two had this little bug land on me. I thought it was a lady bug at first but I think it is some kind of beetle.

Feeling a little off today but here is a knot of some kind.

This lizard was getting shelter from the rain.

Busy day. Also a rainy day so a quick rain drop picture.

The tiniest bug on a little clump of moss.

A small puddle in the grass attracted some bees.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my yard like most of my macro shots are. The spider was perched on the underside of a pear blossom.

Time

It was around 4:30pm and slightly overcast which I like shooting in the diffused light that comes with clouds.

Lighting

It was slightly overcast but the sun was still somewhat high in the sky giving my a good angle to shoot with the sun at my back.(which is usually a big no no) My subject being on the underside of the blossom gave a good angle for the light.

Equipment

This was show with my canon 6D camera and my favorite lens, my 60mm f/2.8 prime canon macro lens. The lens might not be the best for what I'm shooting but I like working with it.

Inspiration

This was shot during one of my 365 projects where I shoot and upload a photo for every day of the year.

Editing

I did a basic color balance and cleaned up some of the lesser blurry areas.

In my camera bag

I always carry my 60mm 2.8 macro lens as I like to look at the smaller things but I also keep my 50mm 1.4 lens handy for general use. I also carry aspirin because I'm not going to let something like a headache stop me from taking pictures.

Feedback

Always have patients when working with live subjects in the outdoors with the elements. Avoid windy days if photographing such a small subject.
