Falcate Orangetip on cress.

Southern Leopard Frog looking for love.

Red Maple samaras almost ready to let go and take their chances on the wind.

Randy Emmitt said...: Wow on the male orangetip! Not an easy shot to get. Actually I have had good luck shooting them at Merchant's Millpond in the past.; 3/24/2011 9:38 PM

I never expect to get a decent shot of orangetips. The little suckers just won't sit still. That one was just a zoom shot off the boardwalk at work. I'm surprised it was even relatively in focus :); 3/25/2011 7:12 AM
KaHolly said...: Beautiful butterfly! And such a good capture. How did you sneak up on it? Your spring pictures are to die for, so crisp and clean and vibrant. Yay for spring!; 3/25/2011 11:11 PM
KaHolly said...: P.S. I love your header! And I took time to read your reply to Randy. Guess it was a lucky shot with a capital L!!; 3/25/2011 11:12 PM
swamp4me said...: Karen,
I was looking forward to getting out this weekend and taking some more spring photos -- alas, it seems Spring has the weekend off, too. We are experiencing cloudy skies and chilly temperatures.; 3/26/2011 8:18 AM
Sybil said...: Ahhh spring. It's another month before I'll see stuff like this here.

Sigh.
