It's fun to play with extremely shallow depth of field when you have a macro lens. Here we have a tiny sweat bee on a thistle blossom, and that's the only thing in focus! I found this image back in July, 2013.

Just as I was about to enter the forest on the hillside, I found a thistle plant with seeds about to fly away. I got many nice pictures, but this was is my favorite, showing a parachute catching the wind to carry the seed away! BON VOYAGE! :D Explored on November 27, 2013. Highest placement, page 4...
