Butterfly Eyes

The butterflies are back at the botanical garden and this time I took the macro with me and looked right into this guy’s eyes.

    Wow. This is extraordinary. Your post today reminds me of a comment that Julie made last evening about her macro lens helping her overcome her fear of insects. Julie made the comment during a delightful dinner with Rob and Mandy of Barcelona Daily Photo.

    Great macro. I noticed the first butterfly of the season yesterday, but it was too quick for me so I didn't get any good photos.

    My, what big eyes you have my dear.
    Now for some reason, I am craving an orange.

    Oh dear...I wouldn't want to be a little bug and awake to that sight! I'd be a goner for sure!

    What a super photo!

    Re your comment on Ocala: The store is called The Gray Fox and it sells all kinds of jewelry and stuff...buying gold is a sideline.

    It appeared to me the woman was looking for some jewelry. Her male friend was trying to be helpful but seemed a little bored...

    Nice one, Sharon. I don't have a special macro lens, so I guess I need to leave this to you and others . . .

    Wow! This is amazing. Could you tell me what macro you're using? I think I'm in the market for one. If I can get shots like this, then I'm definitely in the market.
