I'm lucky enough to work very close to a botanical garden. The weather has been almost summer-like the last few days, so I went and spent my lunch hour there. All taken with FZ35, straight out of the camera, just cropped.

#1 Butterfly and friend. It was quite windy so I'm surprised this came out as focused as it did. Thank you sun!

#2 Robin. I don't know what tree this is, but they were eating those berries like there's no tomorrow!

#3 another Robin

#4 Young grasshopper - wings are still very short

#5 Ladybug

Hi Saly, did you use spot focus on the robin in the tree ?

Nice photos. The last one is the top on my list in this series.

Pat - yes, I have my camera set to spot focus pretty much 100% of the time. I do change the spot meter from time to time depending on the subject.

Just saw this thread... these are fantastic photos saly! No way I could pick just 1 for a favorite. Did you use a tripod/monopod for these?
