Insects

Any plant photography will naturally lead to insect photography. I have come to admire some insects because of their personalities and their intrinsic natural beauty. I generally use a macro setting and take as many pictures as possible, from as many different angles as I can, until they finally fly off. You may want to make sure that the shutter "sound" on your camera is turned off, so it won't scare the insects away.

The following are from my collection of insect photos:

The bee on the caryopteris makes the plant study much more interesting

Checkered butterfly among the veronica

Monarch butterfly on the broccoli

Swallowtail on the phlox Miss Lingard

Dragonfly near the pump pond

This fellow posed so I could admire him all the better
