Would like to see this cropped in a lot closer. All that blue jacket is distracting! Otherwise....lovely girl, lovely butterfly!

Always like a good wildlife shot, especially when it's an environmental shot like this and not a super close-up that might have been taken in a zoo. Hope you identify the deer species in your notes, because these are not in my neighbourhood crew. And I appreciated the reference in the title; you're very gracious! Thank you.

It's good to see the Western Bluebirds, which I seem to rarely (if ever) see up here.

I've seen these guys at the Salton Sea here in California. They're MASSIVE birds. And since it's a migratory stop, there are a kazillion of them. These guys look like they'd like to find warmer weather.
