My Ant Betty

Out shooting by myself earlier this summer, it was one of those days when nothing I would normally shoot drew my attention. Sitting on a bench next to the Mohawk River I noticed a whole colony of ants hard at work up and down a dead tree by the river. This is the result - these guys don't sit still for long.
Nikon D200 / 70-180 Micro Nikkor / +2 close-up diopter / lots of patience.
