Hi Dawn, Just curious about your camera and the lens that you used for this shot. I am in the market for a macro, but can't decide which one to get. Thanks!
thanks Nick! Hi DBM, thanks for coming by again! I dont have a macro lens :( I am also checking out the possibility of getting one as I have been taking lots of bug photos lately. this lens is the standard one that comes with the Nikon D70. 18-70mm. If you do buy one will you let me know which one you got?
Hi Dawn, I have the Nikon D80 with a 18-135mm lens. I love the camera, but I find that I can't get quite as close as I would like to with the lenses that I have got. I am trying to decide between a 60mm and 105mm macro lens. I have also read about stacking lenses to get even closer. I shall let you know what I end up going with.
What a great little butterfly. I am so glad to see that you got this photograph. Roger and I were out today in the marsh and saw a few of these, but they never stayed still long enough for a photograph. You got a great shot.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.

Nice shot! And beautiful color!

Great to discover your lovely blog through Ocean's. I hope to explore it more.
thank you Suzanne and Robin, I think he was very hungry.
thanks for stopping by Gallicissa! I am of to check out your blog too.
Pretty! And very sharp, too! I haven't had a lot of success with butterflies - but that's a great shot!
thanks Jay! I think the telephoto lens is better for the butterflies, but so hard to focus then!
