Photographer’s Notes
Sipping my morning coffee, I spied a bug on the window against our traditional Pacific Northwest (USA) sky. Thought it would make an interesting study in contrast. So, here it is.

Okay, I confess. The bug wasn't really on my lens, it was in a window. I used my macro lens from a distance of about 15 inches. The title just seemed to work. Sorry for the deception. And thanks for the comments.
