Last capture of the day by cjwhite

Last capture of the day

I was going in for the day, when I saw this Gorgone Checkerspot on a dandelion. I was only able to get one open shot. I guess it was ready to close for the day. :0)

Thank you for your kind comments and faves on yesterday's caterpillar pic! I can't always get the pics that I would like to with my little Canon PowerShot, but unless I win the lottery, it's all I have to work with right now. :0)

That color is gorgeous! Wonderful shot,we just don't have many butterflies/moths around here.

Wow, gorgeous find.
September 27th, 2011  
another gorgeous butterfly pic!!!! You amaze me!
September 27th, 2011  
wow. this is just beautiful
September 27th, 2011  
Love the colors and detail
September 27th, 2011  
Oh now, wait a minute! You have NOT been getting all these macros and insect shots with a point and shoot, have you? If so, OMG! I cannot do anything close to you with my point and shoot..it does alot, but not like yours. I really am going to get a DSLR, but just dont' want to rush and get something too soon and regret it. But I think I'll like anything I get, compared to old Canon P and S and blackberry!
September 27th, 2011  
This is wonderful. the detail is so good.
September 27th, 2011  
a great shot, the little canon powershots don't need to make any apologies, i have always been impressed by mine!
September 27th, 2011  
I would say you are working some magic with that point & shoot - way to go! Lovely!
September 27th, 2011  
FAV! Love the colors and like Cissy said..you work magic!
September 27th, 2011  
@espyetta MaryBeth, I started the project in January with a CanonPowerShot A3100 IS. It died on April 29. I got a Canon PowerShot A3300 IS that same day. All of my project has been done with a point and shoot. :0)
September 27th, 2011  
@cjwhite Oh, you're good! Hats off to you, my friend!
September 27th, 2011  
I'm sort of nervous to switch to sometime using a DSLR...I mean, I know I won't use it for everything, as they are not always with you like a P and S. I will use the DSLR for walks, trips, planned things mostly. But anyway, I am not sure my pics will get better and maybe worse, so that freaks me out.

The buttterfly lady strikes again, great pic.
September 27th, 2011  
wow the clarity in this is fantastic!
September 27th, 2011  
Beautiful!
September 27th, 2011  
Isn't that the way it is sometimes? Last shot is magic. This is beautiful, and you and your camera have a great bond!
September 27th, 2011

Awesome capture! Beautiful!
September 27th, 2011  
And what a capture it is. I want to live in your butterfly-filled world:)
September 27th, 2011  
Relatively clear for one shot. I know how difficult it is to "capture" the bug when it wants to move. Lovely colors and good subject matter.
September 27th, 2011  
Another wonderful shot Carolyn.
September 27th, 2011  
You certainly have a wonderful knack of finding and photographing these wonderful little critters. Another lovely shot.
September 27th, 2011  
@rach_who My butterfly days are numbered. It's getting cooler everyday and I think a coldfront is coming through on Friday. I'm really going to miss the butterflies! :0)

September 28th, 2011  
@espyetta Thank you, MaryBeth! I got the pics you sent me. I'm going to look in my book later. Is the Brian that commented on your pic on facebook on the 365? He cracked me up with his first comment! :0)
September 28th, 2011  
@cjwhite No, he is not. Haha. He is a friend from High school and will check out my pics. I guess s omehwere along the way, he read the comments and saw what folks often say. Along the way, he' s picked up all of those he said tonight. So funny. So I taught him "fav" ...:0)
September 28th, 2011  
This is beautiful! I too only use a Canon Powershot for my project. When I started my project back in January I was amazed to learn what it could do, using it everyday really let me experiment with it. I always recommend this camera to anyone looking for a good point and shoot.
September 28th, 2011  
Spectacular!
September 29th, 2011  
wow! great catch!!
September 29th, 2011
