This is the tiny Moonbeam Coreopsis - to give you an idea of the size of this little butterfly. And is he ever fast! I was lucky enough to get this hairy head shot. I love my macro lens - my best treat so far, photographically speaking. No cheap hobby we all have in common.
We are going to a minor league ball game this evening with church and I'm sure I'll take the point and shoot but probably won't post when I get home so I had to find something. Tomorrow we go to Indy to see Michael, Michele and Garrett. Apparently, the neighborhood pool is heated so I hope to get to go swimming with my boy.
@cromwell Isn't that funny - for some reason I always think of them as "hims." I know it took a lot for you to even look at it as there are flowers present.
@yonnie Definite stabilization. I rarely use a tripod and you wouldn't believe how many shots get ditched due to clarity. I am having fun now with manual focus - not for this one though. So we both have great grandchildren!!
@dishaparekh176 Thank you Disha. @judithg That is why I used this shot. I had some side views of wings but liked this better, @ladykassy46 Thank you, Kathleen.
The pose here is amazing , those straight even legs & the antennae jutting out sideways too...a perfect shot ready for take off. Have a glorious family day tomorrow with your boy!
Beautiful, Cathy. Fav. for me. Love the way the legs are placed and the perfectly-aligned feelers. You'd swear he was on parade! And all that fuzz! Wonderful.
I'm heading to Indianapolis next week to see my newest great granddaughter (so excited). I hope you have a fabulous visit and a wonderful swim!!!!
