I figured I had to upload one that was actually taken with the 85 1.8 (at least to demonstrate that sharpness I mentioned in the last description). I'm actually finding it somewhat difficult to say that it's not as sharp as the 100 2.8L macro. It seriously seems like it IS as sharp (when stopped down--definitely not NEARLY as the 100 wide open), based just on these few SPs I shot tonight. But...I don't want to believe it! How could a $370 lens possibly compare to my ultra-super-mega sharp beloved 100 2.8L macro?!?!?
This was the SHOBD above camera. Two Orbis heads behind me pointed at 45 degrees toward me. Processed only in LR4. I experimented with some new B&W processing by shifting the color temp all the way down to the coolest (2000) and going from there.

Self portrait with camera but make it interesting. ;)
I was lifting up because someone drove by and honked and waved. I didn't get to wave back cos you went behind a tree. *waves back*
Not sure why/ how my phone managed to upload the worlds smallest photo but there you go...its here now.
Taken with stock app and put through Vignette app, bleach by-pass effect with 5x4 frame setting.
Darwinia sp Karonie is a shrub growing to 1.8m. Flowers between October and December.
It appears to favour margins of salt lakes and river systems.
Plants can be found in suitable habitats in the South West of Western Australia and also in other states of Australia.
A great resource for pollen, nectar and shelter for many insects.

Agaricus sp. An earlier stage of the same type alongside [ No.001]. The white stipes turned brown the following day.
Largest cap in this group is 4cm across. My block.
SP ran unit rock trains from the Beckmann Quarry northwest of San Antonio to points all over Texas, delivering crushed stone for highway and other construction projects. Here, an eastbound unit train rounds the curve at "Roundhouse" in downtown San Antonio on 5 January 1994. Note C&IM SD38-2 #72 and the two TEBUs in consist.
By this date, SP has moved locomotive servicing out to East Yard and the fuel pads at Kirby, and the former diesel shops are in the hands of Progress Rail.

Dat.: May 22. 2009
Lat.: 46.33209 Long.: 13.47686
Code: Bot_343/2009-8308
Habitat: Alpine upland, partly steep grassland partly Pinus mugo stands on steep rock, east oriented slope, fully exposed to sun and precipitations, just one or two meters off still snow covered terrain, precipitations ~3.000 mm/year, average temperature 2-4 deg C, elevation 1.530 m (5.000 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.
Substratum: Dead rotten grasses and twigs laying on ground where the snow melted just a few days back.
Place: East of Mt. Babanjski Skedenj, 1.963 m (6.317 feet), Mt. Kanin mountain group, Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC
Description: Outer white shell of 'balls' breaks off easily. Beneath it is another irregular white-black check-board like 'crust',. Underneath it there is a sometimes dense, sometimes loose net of shiny black fibers mainly radially oriented. In the middle there is an entirely black mass with apparently some hollow spaces. No distinct columella could be seen. Specimens brought home produced abundant 'black smoke' when moved after two days of drying. It is interesting that the place where I photographed the stuff had still to be covered by rapidly melting snow just a few days before I took the pictures.
