But I could not resist taking their photograph, even though I had said I would refrain from a lot of insect photos this season.

Delightful, especially #1 !
Why on earth would you "refrain" from taking pictures like these?

Have to admit, insects are quite interesting but I am hoping that I can come across somethings, other than insects, during the warmer months this year, that are a bit different or unusual maybe.
Thanks Rik  |

Quite interesting???? The sun rises and sets on insects and other arthropods. Oh, and flowers too.

The backgrounds work very well with the lighting. _________________ Take Nothing but Pictures--Leave Nothing but Footprints.

I was quite surprised to find these things so early in the season. A lot of insects and flowers to, I have noticed, are popping up quite early in the season. Must be the warmer weather arriving sooner than usual.
Thanks Doug and Jim  |
