These daisies in my garden usually grow about 5 feet tall on their spindly stalks but after a dry summer they are much shorter this year. There was a slight breeze today so I held the stem of this one with one hand and clicked with the other :) Canon 450D 60mm macro lens.

To prevent a blurry image one must take into account that macro photography requires a 'steady hand'. I like to say that your 'acrobatics' have turned out very well Lyn! Compliments for this result!

Even with your "acrobatic" photo taking you have got a very nice shot of this pretty yellow flower Lyn.

A lovely spring like splash of yellow...
Tigs, after a lot of research a couple of years ago, I got a Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM.
It's quite expensive, but handles beautifully and seems well made, etc.
One thing to bear in mind with macro lenses and depending what you use them for, is that you might not actually need auto-focus and stabilisation.

Good shot and coordination, LE. I didn't realize they grew so tall.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
