Moths, and more buterflies

This post has some very cool moth photos, as well as a few more butterflies.  The moths are, well - they're just cool.  but since I only really find them on the porch in the morning if a leave the porch light on, they aren't very artistic.  Just neat photos of cool moths. 

I think the butterfly photos have more "artistic" qualities, even though I wouldn't know an artistic quality if it bit me in the ass.  I'm having more fun with the butterflies using different lighting techniques and various focal points.  Some accidental, some on purpose.  Oh well.

I just received a new 50-300 mm zoom lens for my camera, so I expect to be posting this stuff for a long time to come.

And - I actually went fishing last week, and caught a few fish.  I WILL post that rare event!

Enjoy!
