Thanks all! Melanie all of the photos for WW, saturday photo hunt and the Friday cat blogging a re all mine. I do nick stuff off the internet to illustrate my newsy or historical posts
So...I'm even more in awe of you now because this past weekend my niece and I spent the day catching butterflies. And moths. And flies. And anything with wings.
And, it's not easy, even with a big honkin' net! You must be some kind of insect charmer to be able to get so close...or, you have a very good zoom lens.
Either way, I love your pics. But I tell you that each week...
Lovely shots - I've always wondered what those moths were called. Liberty, of course, couldn't care less what they're called - she just likes eating them!
