That butterfly picture is very good IMO, very good indeed.

 

[dunedin]

Thanks JPS, was very windy but managed to find some shelter and patience.

 

[mikeyb]

Very good, nice to see you out and about whilst I'm stuck at work

 

[sawman]

Both good shots. Like the butterfly best though. Like the angle you have taken it at. Or was that just where you landed!!!

 

[Janice]

Top one for me. That is soooo clear. What lens, Dunedin?

 

[praxis]

Awesome pics, both of them. Absolutely a pleasure to view, thanks for posting. Oh, and I hope I get compliments from my lad like that too...

He lives a bit away so can't beat him up, but appreciate the comments from everybody makes it worth while, I hope everybody gets as much pleasure out of their hobby as I have with mine, never thought I would see the time when I would be crawling about on my hands and knees chasing bugs. Thanks again.

 

[Bev]

Brilliant!, so sharp giving amazing detail, i could look at dragonflies faces all day, they totally fascinate me. Great series.

 

[scraggs]

These are really nice shot, the sharpness and dof are great

 

[Ewan]

Didn't see this until now - Superb images, especially the first!

 

[dunedin]

Thanks to all again, everything very quite at moment, seems a dearth of everything, plenty of hover flies but butterflies even scarce on buddleias.
