Thought I would share. Camera in his face with no attachment lens.

Like the second one Steve, bit sharper and an interesting pose.....

Some butterflies just make it hard to get that kind of shot. Thanks for commenting.

p.s. I think this is the post that broke the forum since it went down Saturday a few minutes after I started the thread.

I also like the second one Steve.

That's neat, I have never seen one of those Steve.
