STVest Loc: LA - that's Lower Alabama

I spent my 4th shooting more winged things. Switched up the camera I was using and when I downloaded the memory card I found shots I had made some days before. Had some pleasant surprises. Hope you haven't already had your fill of winged things!

I'm addicted. There will be 8 in this set.

Thanks, John. The bugs are loving the lantana, so providing me with lots of opportunities!

LOL Poor carpenter bee. Can't believe you don't enjoy those cute little round holes they make in all your wood, Sherry. And I think the wasp must have buzzed down from Tom's house. Looks like the same kind. I'm impressed with the super shots of your winged things, Sherry, and I never have my fill of seeing good'uns.

Thanks, Donna - always a pleasure to have you visit and comment.
Yes, those vicious bees do make such uniform and perfectly round holes - they leave no doubt about what has been there!
The wasp would not give me a head-on shot! He does look like he came from that breeding program Tom has going on. Hmmmm. Do you think Tom's homeowner's will cover my medical expenses if I get stung?
I do still love my birdies, but I am so delighted to have something else to shoot that I may really try your patience with my winged things!

Can't get enough of these beautiful creatures the way you present them Sherry! Just beautiful. If I had to pick one though it would have to be the last shot of the Gulf Fritillary. Really, really fine work.

Glad you like, Doc. I appreciate your taking the time to have a look and leave such nice comments. I had a special attraction to that "V" also - now I'm looking for poses of the other letters I need to finish spelling out my name! Might have to break some legs and wings. :shock:
