It's a beautiful weekend down here so I really must stretch that 50mm lens and see what I can find. Not many butterflies or grasshoppers around but I'm sure I can find some little surprise lurking in the bushes. Love the lily.
ReplyDeleteWow--beautiful photos--such an array of colors & textures. I like the way they're arranged on the page, too, with the subdued tones of the satyr moving into the greens & yellows of the oak, then the big splash of the lily & the kaydid, which is quite an electric green!
ReplyDeleteThose are some striking pictures. What color!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you even notice these things. To see the world in a grain of sand...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Roy! Clap clap :-)
ReplyDeleteRoy, I tell everyone, and feel like nature preacher sometimes, lol, but you know nature is amazing and has so much to offer, thank God for the digital cameras. Excellent captures. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteThe acorn picture is memorable - perfect in shape, composition and colour.
