Have been working in a butterfly garden for the last three weeks, and all kind of critters are been showing up for their free feeding.

Image taken with Pentax k5 and Mamiya 200mm F2.8 with ring extension.

I took more photos this summer than I could keep up with. So I got a little behind on my posting to my photostream. These photos are from Aug, 2008.

Lots of these little Skippers around right now. They are very small, less than an inch long, and have interesting looking faces.
