All taken using a Nikon D300 and Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 lens.

Holly Blue - Celastrina argiolus
I've posted two images of this species because it's one that I rarely see in my area.




Gatekeeper - Pyronia tithonus


Comma - Polygonia c-album

You have the magic touch Peter. Ed.

[Freeman]

Why can I not get shots like these!

Smashing, Peter, as always.

[Jeffbridge]

I absolutely positively love these - great job!

[Plantsman]

Thank's all for your comments on the butterflies - my favorite subjects. A wish that will never come to fruition is to visit warmer climes, observe and photograph the exotic species.

Hi Peter

Inspired by your comma butterfly rendition, I thought I would see what I could do today - here it is - it surely lacks your touch though...

Nice second image Jeff - showing the small white 'comma' on the hind underwing which gives the butterfly it's name.

Thanks, Peter, I shall keep trying with butterfly images - some way off yet! All the best, Jeff

Ah, so it's one of those 'I know it's a butterfly' but I don't know the make & model. Although of course we are fortunate to have members here who have the expertise to enlighten the rest of us, 'hopefully'!!

Nice shot of the Peacock Phil; and good to see another D300 in action.
