p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · From the Garden


Awe, summer in the south . Heat , humidity and sometimes visitors to the garden.

Seeing a butterfly flit about, brought me out of the air conditioning . Takes the lens a bit to adjust to the high humidity. As I waited for the lens to clear , I missed the drama that was unfolding in the last shot . Searching for the little beauty with no luck. Then I spied it and the anole. Life in the garden is not easy . Predator and prey come in all sizes .

Your comments, nits and crits are always appreciated.

Thanks so much for looking. I do hope you enjoy.


Birdie








1. Monarch on Dahlia

5. Monarch on Honeysuckle






6. Green Anole with butterfly prey

Beautiful set, Birdie! Love the clean backgrounds. If I had to nitpick your Anole lizard needs a little sparkle/pop (brightness/contrast/clarity) on the face/head.

Excellent images Birdie. I would agree with Bobby that the lizard could use a little more "pop".
