We have them here in Maine when the Lilacs bloom. Last two years, they have been around all summer. I have some other images where the wings are clear enough that delicate petals are seen. Thanks for the comments.

Profile Information

About Me and My Photography Experience:
Older photographer. Surface Science Research Associate...Univ. of Maine. Aircraft maintenance technical writer. I would like to be a great photographer.

Favorite photographer; Ansel Adams...who said "white to black are infinite shades of gray". Favorite photo of mine..."Three Brothers"

Favorite things to do; Click, bang, stargaze and tasting life. IE Photograph, shoot tiny holes in paper targets, gaze (study) at the night sky, soaking up everything into my pleasure sensors.

My start in digital photography was a clunky HP 215. Soon migrated to a Minolta F100. Then a Kodak P850 which was a very good camera. The new KODAK Z980 has quickly become my GO TO camera. Amazing detail, amazing features and I never thought it would outdo my Canon but it does. For this reason, I sold the canon and just purchased a Pentax K-7. There are limits as to what the Kodak could do so....the K7.

My work runs from black and white photos of any subject, to nature, geology to minerals, animals, flowers, seascapes, landscapes, people doing what they do and of course, family..

Favorite photographic area;Anywhere In the woods, Newfoundland Canada, Alaska, British Columbia...Yukon Territory, my own yard AND anywhere there are subjects THAT PLEASE MY EYE.
My Photography Equipment:
Kodak Z980 with video, Pentax K-7 (Amazing detail and color). Edwards Microscope for micro-macro, Logitech 4000 Web cam hooked to microscope, HP G4050 scanner, Canon P4700 printer...Adobe PS, Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X3. Pentax 18-55mm WR lens and Pentax 50-200mm WR Lens.
