I know that this is a “people” photo blog, but every once in a while I see something that I want to post that is unrelated to people. Yesterday afternoon, the sun was finally shinning and filled our yard with a nice warm glow. As I was looking out my office window, I saw a ton of butterflies, bees and other flying things around a series of plants. I quickly grabbed my 70-200 and went out to see what I could discover. I was thrilled that I was able to get some many close ups and seemingly fill the frame with color.
More rain is coming this weekend; they say about 3 more inches (like we need it!). So this may be the last sun we see for a few more days.
Loving the colors and POV…and really enjoying your new blog format! The larger images really do your photography more justice! Congrats again Chris!

Your insects are great captures as well as the colourful flowers! They do fill the frame beautifully! You did RIGHT to go out after them!
beautiful. i don’t have the patience to photograph bugs, because they move around too much.
but you got some excellent shots.
Good for you, Christopher, to capitalize on the sun while we had it! It’s now Saturday and has been raining off-n-on all day…just as you said! Beautiful non-people images!
Belles macros !
Fantastic series of macro shots!
Absolutely gorgeous.
wow, some great shots of the bee and lepodopters! Great photography, as usual, Chris!
oh my goodness i have a TERRIBLE moth phobia and the first one looks like a moth to me lolol but amazing shots!! it’s just the second and third are my faves
Beautiful macros. I especially like the middle one with the red butterfly.
Perfect nature shots! What beautiful little creatures we have living in our backyards, but go unnoticed most of the time. Very cool images!
good thing you have your cam with you that time.. very nice images!
If they would just sit still long enough for multiple shots and angles, at least that is what I seem to find when shooting butterflys. Nice shots
