Good series Gary- love #1 and #4. Think the angles are against you in #2 &3 but no doubt you were pleased to see them.

Wow nice series Gary, love that first shot
Is the flower in that shot a Thistle? or a flower from some other plant.
Love the way the light hits the wings of the Third butterfly too

Thanks for sharing Gary .... Skippy
