The weather up here is finally decent! We are still in the throws of a drought, but at least we are in the 80's instead of the 90's that we've had for over a month coupled with no rain.

Good set Ric. :clap

Very nice Ric. :thumb I really like the butterfly shot, I find them very tough to get good ones from. Good series!

Good set Ric. :clap
:D It was hot out, so I only took 20 shots. I like taking close shots with a long lens!

Cool, Ric. How do you all get the butterflys to hold still. The ones I see are flitting all over as though they were extras in a movie.

Nice shots, must have been a very good walk.

I really like the 1st one, at a glance it looks like a weird match stick :huh
Maybe it's just me :rofl

Mine go out in the middle of the lake while I watch helplessly.

There will be a bunch come through later, don't remember which month, on their way to Mexico. I don't know why but they stay still in mass.
I photographed them last year.

It is beautiful to walk around with butterflys flitting to and fro. I think. And the dragons. They do land sometimes and I do try. I might have a couple I could show, but they are sitting on a rope. People here are getting better dragons. The last ones I got were with my 300 lens, w extender, of all things. Now that I am getting rid of it, I find out that it has macro.

Wonderful shots, as I said.

I prefer a zoom for this kind of shooting. One needs to move about as little as possible. Let them come to you instead of you chasing them! :wink
