Last week we spent a couple of days at Riding Mountain National Park, a couple of hours NW of Winnipeg.

I was happy to find Boreal whitefaces, as well as species found east of Winnipeg.

Cheers,

Larry

Very nice collection you got here. They are wonderful subjects with brilliant colors and their wing patterns are mezmerizing.

A super set Larry. Crystal clear with fabulous detail.
Did you use extension tubes with the 300mm?

Thanks Larry for the ID's, perhaps by the time I post mine I will know what they are I have always thought those Jewel Wings were the prettties of all! I like them all but #3 is a great comp and a neat perspective, nice shooting buddy!

Thanks everyone

Re: #3 Well, Karl, once I have a shot I can i.d. them with I can afford to get a little artistic. I have a soft spot for the Jewelwings, too.


Cheers,

Larry
