Macros at Allens Pond

I have started a project which will be writing a E-book on a guide to Allens Pond Audubon Sanctuary and the vicinity that will help visiting photographers on locations and time of year to photograph the natural beauty of the area.
Yesterday, I was out to an macro photography, utilizing my new Tamron 180 mm f/3.5 1:1 macro lens, which has a minimum focusing distance of 18.5 inches, allowing me to photograph skittish subjects went out getting too close to them. We began photographing by 7 AM to take advantage of the dew that was present on the subjects, and at that point, there was no wind. However, within the next 45 minutes., the wind started to pick up which shot and our shooting time down because of motion that the wind caused in the vegetation.
Here is a selection of pictures from the morning shoot.
