Polaris has expressed a desire to be involved. He'd come dressed in a black and white tux. Nothing that's been done can ever be changed. Quote | Post #797798 (1)

Abby looks beautiful She is thrilled but worrying the dress may make her look fat I assured her she will look fine It happens in a flash, but the memory of it last forever. It can not be borrowed or stolen, and it is of no earthly good until it is given away. So if in your hurry you meet someone who is too weary to smile, leave him one of yours, for no one needs a smile quite as much as he who has none to give... Quote | Post #797801 (2)

Polaris you handsome young 'man' you Abby, dear Abby... shall we just assure her she has a pretty face and a great personality? "If you bring joy and enthusiasm to everything you do, people will think you're crazy" W. Haelfeli, New Yorker cartoon Quote | Post #797813 (3)

Great photos, Karen! I love Butterfly exhibits and a chance to walk among those "flying jewels". I've been to two recently, one at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD, and one at the Phipps Conservatory, in Pittsburgh, PA. Haven't been to LGBG's one ... YET!!! It looks fabulous with some different species other than what you usually see at these exhibits. I especially love those Birdwings - have never seen them before - they're spectacular! And who knew there were so many types of dragonflies? I didn't until we got our place in the mountains, which has a good-sized pond down the hill. You got some wonderful shots of them too. And how lucky you got to see a Luna moth! I know they're around, but I've never seen one. Thanks as always for sharing your beautiful pictures with us.

Beautiful! I didn't photograph much this summer. I know I will be sorry because it was my best butterfly year ever. Quote | Post #908110 (16)

Absolutely stunning Karen what lens did you use for these? I love the Common Birdwing such great coloring It happens in a flash, but the memory of it last forever. It can not be borrowed or stolen, and it is of no earthly good until it is given away. So if in your hurry you meet someone who is too weary to smile, leave him one of yours, for no one needs a smile quite as much as he who has none to give... Quote | Post #908172 (17)

Thanks again everyone! Ronnie... I still use my Canon 100-400mm L lens, on a T3i body now. Instead of running after perfection, why not simply walk in faith? Quote | Post #908242 (18)

Nice Karen, does it have a macro switch? Such detail! It happens in a flash, but the memory of it last forever. It can not be borrowed or stolen, and it is of no earthly good until it is given away.
