Hi Brian Sowers, I'm enjoying your pictures very much. They would be richer if you put some information about the species (wikipedia and Encyclopedia of Life are good for this), put the reference (wiki or EoL) and some notes about your spotting (where you were, what what going on, your camera and lens information, whatever). Forgive me if someone else has already suggested this. Keep posting your lovley shots.
so lovely capture,
