Carlsbad Flower Fields (Lots of pictures)
This sunday I went to the Carlsbad Flower Fields in Southern California.
http://www.theflowerfields.com/ They had a Canon sponsored macro workshop, but they seemed to talk more about canon products then about photography so I just walked around by myself and took some photos. I hope you enjoy them All are taken with the d200 and sigma 150 macro handheld           This was a moth (I think) flying around some flowers    More Flowers

I wasn't sure what it was, that's the first time I've ever seen one. I just googled it and you're right, looks like it's the White-lined Sphinx Hummingbird Moth. http://www.birds-n-garden.com/hummingbird_moths.html
