a couple of the insect shots:
Dancing butterflies

A shot of the newly emerged dragonfly (I know the leaf is in the way, but what the hell)

That first shot is a stunner. Shot of the day

What a ripper. Very beautiful Rel. The dragon is tack sharp - you must be spewing about the stray.

Rel, very nice pics i like both but #1 is very nice and a great shot.

the butterfly in flight is a great capture and the dragonfly would have been awesome if the leaf didn't get in the way ... still like it as appears to be peeking out of the bushes.

The first shot is a ripper! I really like it. And the second shot is still ok with the leaf but could of been awesome without it. Can't get over that first shot... It's quiet surreal a moving butterfly and the still butterfly and you have both kinda infocus.

#1 is a magic shot. Well done.

Thanks everyone

The top shot is of two butterflies (obviously), but the top one is male and the bottom one female. The male is 'dancing' above her , tyring to entice her to open her wings, and accept him in order to mate

Seems apt for valentines day, should have waited

Thanks again
Rel

Narelle,

First shot is beautiful - great to see an 'action' shot of a butterfly for a change.

Cheers
