PMD's and Virga

Just got back from a quick spin down to Silver Creek hoping to capture some rising fish.  Well..., the wind was blowing and there were no rising fish but a few PMD's were fluttering around on the water post emergence and I netted a few.  I used a 105 2.8 macro with a focusing rail.

As I was leaving a small thunderhead was developing above the Nature Conservancy.  I took a few quick clicks of the cloud.  The virga--rain evaporating in the air before it hits the ground--reminded me of smoke and that's how I tried to capture it.
