Practicing [Filler #50]

It was a 5-frame day and they were all of an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, which I posted yesterday. So this is [yet] a[nother] filler.

I made a solar filter for my 55–250mm lens at a recent workshop and the phycisist (Bob Baer) recommended *practicing* before next month's total solar eclipse.
Being a better student than professors (or retired professors) tend to be, I'm practicing with filter and tripod. The eclipse is four weeks away!
