The Snout Butterfly
Each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life and here to make a contribution.
― Deepak Chopra
A first for me in 2010 was seeing this little guy - A Snout Butterfly. I think they are so unique! I believe they are the only "snout" butterfly found in North America.

A Variety
This is the same dragonfly from a previous in-flight shot At that time I thought it was a Calico pennant. Based on comments from readers I now believe it to be a Halloween pennant.
I think dragonfly wings are so unique!

This Male Red-winged Blackbird was very cooperative and perched where I could get a decent shot off.
One of the few birds I can ID without a problem :)

Hanging Out in the Trees
This little guy (a Red-spotted Purple)
was hanging out in the trees along one of my favorite trails. I used to think I could only find butterflies by looking down on the ground near the flowers. That is not the case at all. A LOT of them hang about in the trees. This one was quite high up but thankfully the 300mm lens was able to bring him a bit closer :)

Ladybug Found
During a 4 hour walk one weekend I broke out my Macro lens. Next to my 70-300mm - the Macro is my favorite. A LOT of my macro pics are taken with the 70-300mm. Most of the dragonfly, damselfly and butterfly pics are with that lens. I just can't get close enough with the 105mm Macro to those creatures without them flying away. However, the ladybugs don't seem to mind if you put a lens right up next to them :)
