Awesomely beautiful, that is one the most appealing pictures I have ever seen of a caterpillar.

Wonderful colorful floral photos. But I particularly like the two with critters, the moth in the first and the caterpillar towards the end. The moth is particularly well captured.

such gorgeous, rich colors. You did a beautiful job.

Lovely pics, thank you.

Gorgeous shots! The first photo of the huge moth is amazing :)

That first photo stopped me in my tracks. You must have had incredible patience or incredible luck to capture that instant. Is that a hawk moth?

BTW, I was thinking about your post yesterday. Did you ever read It's not about the bike by Lance Armstrong? I was thinking of his story of his very first pro race where he was the lantern rouge but never gave up. Your determination reminded me of him.

Your pictures are always so amazing. I love the way the foreground is so sharp and the background is soft and fuzzy. The first photo is just plain incredible. Love the flowers and the caterpillar gave me the eebie jeebies! =)

amazed again. The top one was plenty, but like a fine glutton I enjoyed them all

These are stunning! Really like the two critters. Is one of them really a moth? Wow!

Birdfreak said...

Great shots - that moth is gorgeous!!!!

Snowcatcher said...

Thank you, everyone!

KB, Colleen and AVCr8teur, the first photo is a hummingbird moth. They are about the same size as a hummingbird, but not quite as fast. So much easier to shoot!
