But he's not in prison garb.....???

Awesome! Stained-glass wings, or polished wood.

Oh, Mike, it's gorgeous.
When I read the subject, I couldn't wait for it to load into my page. I know how your pictures come out.

That's GORGEOUS!

Wow, you just keep getting better and better.

I can't wait to see the photos from your upcoming travels.

Publish a book already!

what a beauty he is, M!
did you use a tripod?
or can such clarity be gotten hand held?

Oh my goodness, Mike .. That's prize material. Enter it in the state fair! I think I like your new lens more than you.

There were hundreds of butterflys along thre trail that circles the lake, and this was the only one who would hold still and pose for me! But it was a delightful hike, having all thes little fellows swirling around my feet as I walked. Made me feel as though I might be able to fly myself.

oh that sounds magical! :-)

I don't think this guy would have waited for a tripod!

Since all I had for my 20D was my long lens (the other one was being repaired), I used the G3 for this one and took as many frames as I could before he took off.

He tunnelled his way out and had this nice suit waiting for him!

Nature has such an artistic bent!

[myasma.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you like it! It is my first ever butterfly picture.

[myasma.livejournal.com]

thank you!

[myasma.livejournal.com]

whee! Have you ever been to Convict Lake? It is a lovely little spot off 395.

I am preparing a book describing the various pine needles I have found while hiking--it will be a real page-turner!

[myasma.livejournal.com]

thank you!

No good deed goes un-pun-ished

[errantpenny.livejournal.com]

Yay!

I'm sure that will resin-nate with many of your readers.

[niyabinghi.livejournal.com]

Ha ha! :D

Glory be!

That photo was amazing even on my crap monitor at the office. It's stunning on my better one at home.

I echo the "submit for publication" sentiment.

I took a bunch of pics at Mono Lake, but haven't done anything with them yet. Whenever I take a lot of pictures of something, I always find it difficult to be satistified with any of them.

harharhar!!!

thanks!

You know, I've always wanted to enter something in the State Fair. It used to be a pie--I wanted to make a "blue ribbon pie".

[myasma.livejournal.com]

thank you!

[myasma.livejournal.com]

It was--one of the highlights of my trip, and a reminder of how beautiful things really are.

[myasma.livejournal.com]

thank you!
