Your photograph shows just how gorgeous she is. In the right light you can see her Tiger markings too.<br />I saw my first Dragon of the season fly over the house yesterday! Soon the Ebony Jewel Wings will emerge. Spring is an exciting time of year.<Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-36869154008398924432010-04-14T21:08:56.441-04:002010-04-14T21:08:56.441-04:00Cobweb Skipper would be new for Falls Lake, was it...Cobweb Skipper would be new for Falls Lake, was it close enough to go one the list?Ali Iyoobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202777507032903676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-6018979488911035212010-04-14T21:08:39.521-04:002010-04-14T21:08:39.521-04:00Cobweb Skipper would be new for Falls Lake, was it...Cobweb Skipper would be new for Falls Lake, was it close enough to go one the list?Ali Iyoobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202777507032903676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-17006876886395462052010-04-14T19:00:46.013-04:002010-04-14T19:00:46.013-04:00The Juniper Hairstreak is too cool to be real :) I...The Juniper Hairstreak is too cool to be real :) I'd love to come across one. <br />- Hoping you find something newwiseacrehttp://wiseacre-gardens.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-32252411197869939282010-04-14T06:48:03.374-04:002010-04-14T06:48:03.374-04:00Oops, I meant hairstreak!Oops, I meant hairstreak!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-59337993526432530392010-04-14T06:47:08.558-04:002010-04-14T06:47:08.558-04:00Your photos are simply the best, Randy!

Thanks so much for the lesson about the two similar blacks, I have so much trouble distinguishing them and can remember the extra spots, maybe. A couple of butterflies here, mostly the gulf fritt, and way too jerky for a photo attempt. The butterfly, but I am a little shaky as well. :-)<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-57674595947104632352010-04-13T23:12:44.477-04:002010-04-13T23:12:44.477-04:00That juniper hairstreak is awesome with the grass....That juniper hairstreak is awesome with the grass.

I'd have needed a 900mm lens to have them turn out as anything other than a spec. I really need to find some slightly less energetic subjects to shoot!
