20130923_9231008 Dancing on the Rocks in the Heat (Mon 23 Sep)

Ballaraat Park, Pyrmont, NSW

Lunchtime was spring warm, but not yet summer hot. However it was certainly warm enough to put a considerable amount of heat into the paving stones around the park.

As a result, this ant and some of its colleagues would dart out of the cool spaces between the stones, scurry across the surface of them for a moment or two, then disappear back into the cracks.

I'm actually quite impressed at the detail and sharpness that the Olympus's general purpose lens was able to capture here. Obviously, a macro lens on a larger body would do an infinitely better job but this isn't bad considering.
