We have this wonderful "Butterfly House". It's a huge terrarium/greenhouse like building filled with butterflies. You get a little "map" to check off all the butterflies you can identifiy. There are at least 50 different species.
They are used to people being around all day long and occassionally land on you. Anyway, with that many butterflies, it didn't take much to get one sitting still. I use an ordinary point and shoot digital camera for my pics, but the zoom on it is amazing.
Still, I'd like to someday get a nicer SLR so I can get the resolution necessary to make poster size prints. I'm currently limited to a 12X17 print with the highest resolution.
Glad you like the pics. I did check out your pictures as well. Very nice. You're fortunate to have such beautiful surroundings.
There are many times I view things as though I were looking though the lens of my camera. Now, I'm ready to share with you my views of the world around us.
I've said for years that if I could "do it all over again", I would have choosen photography as my career path. By the time I discovered my passion, I already had a college education that led to a good paying job. Giving that up to become a struggling artist is not appealing. Besides, I like what I currently do.
But I still wonder, what if I had chosen a different path?
I actively seek comments & critiques/suggestions. If you've got compliments, I'll take those too :)

This is beautiful, I have to ask how you did it?
I have tried this and could not get the moth, in my case, to be still. Or, maybe . . .
