Local Cruise

Cruised some local spots the other night and turned up a San Diego Banded Gecko and Nightsnake. Also bought a new Canon 100mm Macro USM and tested it out. Enjoy. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8862/17319714976_518fae1071_b.jpg IMG_1782 by shredsteban , on Flickr https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7758/1...
