The lad is a good photographer but he's not a whiz with geography.

Yepper....that was pretty good. Very creative in insightful there, Ben. I see many faces in flowers. Especially the cartoonish weird character types. Here are some recent shots of orchids that reminded me of alien/cartoonish faces.

Nice butterfly/shot, Harry. Is that a Florida native?? Do you know what kind of 'bly that is? I've not seen that one before.


Oh yeah....what does that have to do with knights (helmet) ?? Perhaps my shot was a far stretch....with the SmugMug logo..but ..

Hey Mike,

He's a native of the Viera Zoo anyhow. They had a small butterfly exhibit awhile ago. I was replying to pathfinder but you got in first. I considered deleting it but figured if you could stretch your shot into a response to PF's shot then I could go that extra mile too.
