Great series Jay. I wish my butterfly pics turned out that nice. I can not seem to get them to sit still long enough.

I just took a bunch of shots and only had a few keepers. Was actually at lunch so wasn't planning on shooting but the # of butterflies made me bust out my gear.

I agree with John. Nice colors in all of them. The second and last ones are special.

Did you see the spiders? They were pretty cool. There were a few swallows as well that were just beautiful. Not thrilled with my pics but will post a couple shortly. Great set.
