Why yes, as a matter of fact, I do have a mouse in my pocket.

A well worn one at that.  He's missing a few whiskers, has partially deformed ears, a slightly rusty hook, and his tail is probably going to fall off that next time it encounters water, but sure, I always have a mouse in my pocket.  What, doesn't everyone?

Spring will be here soon, time to prep the fishing tackle....

I found a full set of extension tubes today which I had forgotten I even owned, and since I don't own a macro lens I decided to play around with them on my 50 and 70-200 to see what I could come up with.  It was absolutely great being able to focus so close to a subject!  A true macro is now on my "must have" list. 

Although this shot isn't a macro shot, it did end up being my  favorite for the day.  This tiny fly landed next to me while I was lying on the ground shooting some tiny flowers and he stayed just long enough for me to grab a few frames.  Once I tried to move closer, he was gone.  I love the smooth backgrounds the 70-200 provides in these close focus situations.

I think I'll challenge myself to post shots using the extension tubes for the whole week.
