One never knows what can be found around this time of year. I was very surprised and pleased to find some butterflies and damsel fly this early.

"Learn to be an observer in all seasons. Every single day, your garden has something new and wonderful to show you." ~Author Unknown

As always your nits and suggestions are most appreciated and welcomed.

Thank you for looking and I do hope you find something to enjoy.

Birdie, your garden is full of delightful things, small, large and anything in-between and you captured them superbly - YGMV!

These are beautiful. Your artistic vision and eye are consistently amazing. You pickup superb images where most see nothing. I admit that yesterday I saw some dandelion seed heads in my yard and rather than get my camera I got my weed whacker.

#1, 5, and 6 are my favorites from a superb set of images.

the first one is off the charts, Roberta. 6 and 8 are awesome as well.

Hi Birdie...

I always click on your postings to see what's new from birds to butterflies to refractions to other interesting critters. This post is no exception to your usual attention to detail.

I agree with KD that #1 is beyond exceptional...what an eye you have and talent to match.

Thanks
Tom

Birdie,

Super set, but #1 is just a crazy eyecatcher. It pulled me off the front page in a hurry.

Such VIBRANCE! Jumps off the screen - would love to see it printed on metal.

Only nit would be the little dark areas on the topmost edge.

When I see a new post from you I know I’m in for a visual feast and this one is no exception. Your ability to produce images like these over and over and over again is a testament to you artistic vision and photographic skill.

Birdie,

Lovely images.

Watch out for Cinnabar moths hanging around (resting on vegetation) for up to a week or two before the Ragwort flower buds start to open.

Wonderful series, Birdie! You present us with a dazzling array of colors. Each photo is worthy of display in a museum of modern art. Very difficult to select a favorite, but I'm partial to the Dandelion.

I'm convinced you could replace that Sony (and former Olympus) with an Instamatic and still give us a visual treat.

So well done, Birdie!

Love the set Birdie

#1 has me playing a little with the comp to get less centered from top to bottom but the image content and color is simply outstanding!
Excellent detail and color in 2 and 3
#4 the left stem is a bit overpowering for me on this tiny delicate subject
#5 is wonderful

#6 just seems a bit flat on light range
#7 very clean and pure, a wee bit more contrast on the hover might be worth a look
#8 lovely comp, great feel I like it

It would be very easy to say these are all outstanding, nits only because I know you will put them to use
