Beautiful shot, Herb! I think the wilting flower actually makes the shot more interesting. GMV!

The insect world has moved to California for the winter it seems. Their colours work together beautifully.

Excellent work, Herb. Incredible detail.

Great color and he looks like he's quite busy, why should he budge. ;)

Nice shot Herb I couldn't get close to this guy and at the time all I had with me was a 70-200,http://www.pbase.com/bob_foisel/image/50214858

Nice photo Herb. Here in Portugal we say: who wait always reaches.:)

Very nice close up Herb!

Robin Reid		27-Dec-2005 22:37
You may be able to train your humming bird, but the Monarch butterflies can be pretty darned independent! That said I am still observing your really fine work here with excellent details and wonderful color. Way to go Herb!

Maybe this flower tasted better! Beautiful capture of the butterfly.
