I am learning so much about butterflies! Keep them coming!

[Jo Ann Bellone]

you are amazing with your butterfly knowledge and photos

[Yvonne]

Love this. I can see where it gets its name. I want to ask a question--read the other day that not everyone can shoot macro. Not that I have any grandiose ideas of ever being able to capture anything like you, is it worth going and getting a 100 mm macro lens?

[Carolyn White]

@yonnie I don't have a macro lens. I use my zoom lens. I want a 100mm!!!!!!!!!! We just don't have the extra money right now. I think you should get one!!! :0)

[Yvonne]

@cjwhite Wow--now I am even more amazed.

[Tara]

Excellent detail! The pop of green against the black really sets off the butterfly. Nice job!
