Ah, you've pulled me from wandering more or less at random through the images
from our trip. Here are the best from that
day and some from two days later in Maine.

1-2. Full frame and crop of the same Fritillary.
3-4. Full frame and crop of a Cabbage White.
5. What one may get in sharpness/detail with the 75-300 @ 300 mm on an
extension tube. Handheld shots of small, moving
critters don't get much better!

6-7. Full frame and crop of a Clouded Sulphur.
Now in Maine:
8-9. When flutterbys group on the ground, they often remind me of sailboats.

I knew butterflies, like, you know, did it - but snogging?

11-12. Finally, a challenge for Mike and ??? Although the color and size are
like Fritillaries, and the environment
seems right, these are different shaped and the markings are somewhat different.
Fluttery Moose
