Hidden in the tall grasses by cjwhite

Hidden in the tall grasses

I waded into grass as tall as me to get this pic. Three years ago, I would NEVER have done that! 365 has helped me be brave. I may pay for it later. I was halfway in and remembered I didn't use my insect repellent. :0)

Thank you so much for your views, comments, and faves! They keep me going outside in the heat, humidity, and tall grasses. :0)

Great butterfly photo!!!!

Very nice! Did you use a tripod? From the exif it appears that you used a zoom (as opposed to a macro)? My zooms of bugs never come out this good. Fav!

Wow...

@vskolnik Thank you! I only use my tripod for moon pics. Most of the places I shoot, it just wouldn't work. I did use my 300mm zoom for this pic. I don't have a macro lens. I do use my P&S on macro setting for the lynx spiders. :0)

This is just fabulous - those colors show so well. He is in such better shape than the poor ones I have been seeing lately - definitely "parts missing" bunch. I am always in awe of your wonderful detail.

Beautiful capture! A fav. I forget bug spray too when I shoot nature shots. I do look for snakes now after running into one that I later found out was a poisonous snake.

@daisy Oh! No! I've never come across a venomous snake!!! People have seen rattlesnakes a mile from me, but I've never seen or heard one. I don't know what I would do. Be careful!!!!

“We were searching the ‘art of blackness’ for the secret of how those black wings absorb so much sunlight and reflect so little,”
Really lovely picture of a butterfly that is the inspiration into research on how to make solar collectors more efficient http://thewildmagazine.com/blog/art-of-blackness/
maybe of interest............

Stunning!! I firmly believe that butterflies must have been man's inspiration for stained glass.
And I love that polka dot body stocking. :-)
