Here are some more duck shots from Melody Lake. I took these a little later than the earlier photos, and when the ducks were more awake.
I desaturated the sky and the swans quite a bit, so that they would look more like they were, whiter. But I promise, theses swans were really in flight very near to me at Finley Wildlife Refuge. The best I had at the time was a Sony Mavica Camera, which I am not going to knock, as I had thousands of good times with it.

I thought this was a creature at first. I saw it in a marsh at Finley Wildlife Refuge, and soon realized it was a feather from an Arctic Swan. I did some artsy stuff with the picture, like minimum technique from ArcSoft2 program.

this species was very common throughout our four day trip to NW NSW. Could'nt find it in my only butterfly book (Australian Butterflies in Colour, Burns & Rotherham, 1980). Help with ID appreciated ? :)

Touch the Sky is a sculpture of a mythical winged creature with the head of a human preparing to take flight. The sculpture is fabricated from a myriad laser-cut sheet metal plates welded together. The face is rendered in sharp detail with eyes closed in dreamlike rapture. The hair flows back in the wind. The skin is made of reflective stainless steel heat treated to a rich gold color. The surface of the sculpture is outlined by geometric tattoo-like perforations that accentuate the shape of the body and emit light at night. Wings made of golden stainless and patina’ed steel stretch upwards from the back in a dramatic pose. Touch the Sky serves as a visual metaphor for taking leaps of faith to achieve our dreams and fly.

At long last, a butterfly visited my yard! I was able to follow this one butterfly around for a "photo shoot" by my mail box. Didn't last long, but I got a few shots anyway.

Summer sure is a great time to catch all kinds of life. God certainly created a lot of varieties to take care of the earth. I'm so glad to have the opportunity to put some of His creation on display for all to see and appreciate. Plus it's a lot of fun when you don't have to go far to get some good shots! All 5 of these were done with the +4 close up filter. Enjoy!
The Peacock Pansy (Junonia almana) butterfly with markings that look like huge big eyes on its wings (+there's a fly on the underside of the leaf covering the flower it's sitting on).
Time to put on our thinking caps. I spotted this moth like critter on my Hostas this morning, and I would really like to know what it is. I have no idea if it's a moth, butterfly, or what have you. I sure hope it's not destructive!
A big thank you to contact maricelli63 for the correct identification!
