    That is so beautiful, that and the butterfly. I am almost ashamed at "taking" that lens away from you.

    I have never seen anything like that moth. I was going to ask where you are getting those flying bugs, but the shots are too good for "humor".

    And the flowers are perfect for them. Sets them off perfectly.

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    You've been busyclap.gif - a butterfly in flight - The First on dgrin I believe, and now a hummer moth. They aren't easy to capture either - they almost never stop moving as they fly - they do NOT land! Well done!!
