I do love shooting macros and continue to experiment with this photographic style. I have found that I can get pseudo-macro results with my 18-200 lens by putting it in manual focus, instead of auto-focus. For some reason I can get closer to the subject in manual, within 12 inches or less. On auto-focus I can only get within 18 inches or so, which just doesn't cut it for a macro. I am sure there is some technical explanation for that but I don't know it! In this case though I used my Hoya Macro Filters, which I enjoy quite a bit and you can read my review of them here: www.nomadicpursuits.com/hoya-macro-filter-review/
Taken at the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo, Symonds Yat. Captioned 'fragile' beause their lifespan is only 16 days and we saw many dying off there.
I'm sorry, this was identified as a Citrine Forktail - Ischnura hastata but I believe it is actually a Fragile Forktail (Ischnura posita) having some lunch...yumm?

Shame that Rich didn't read what it said on the box for our rather large subwoofer before dropping it on the amplifier. Luckily both survived, if a little dented.
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
It is very similar to "When It Rains.." farm3.static.flickr.com/2192/2224536422_a666cf850c_b.jpg
but I couldn't find anything quite good as this that fits the lyrics ~
