Thanks for your comment Ashish! This creature was not only very photogenic, he was also very patient while I was flashing away with my camera... Even let me have a 2nd photo session after I'd realized the 1st lot of photos weren't quite good enough...
Ann.. I feel second picture is best one and striking...
Beautiful series Ann!
I think they are awesome! Beautiful photos!
That's how it is for blue birds and Cedar Waxwings with me. If we had Cardinals , i would be photographing them all day! Beautiful colors on the moth!
I don't blame you - they are lovely!
