Karen, these are just exquisite. What a joy to have you share them. My mind is blown by the Snowberry Clearwing moth. Also, I had the pleasure of hanging out with some Tawny Owls yesterday, and the Gray Cracker butterfly looks uncannily like them!
Wishing your Dad a very happy birthday. Thank you.
One of the owls is called Pigeon, she was raised by people who found her before her eyes opened, so she had never met another owl until a couple of weeks ago & was terrified at first. But she's doing great, now. Definitely knows she's an owl, now!
ooh, I love a good butterfly and moth photoshoot! Getting the hummingbird moths to cooperate is one of my favorite things when doing nature photography.
These photos are astounding! Thanks so much, as always, for sharing them, Karen. And happy birthday to your dad; sounds like you all found the perfect way to celebrate him.
I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree! It's so wonderful that your dad passed on to you his own love of beauty and nature and that you capture it so well to share with us! Thank him for me! ;-) And happy birthday!

This comment is going to go so well with my newsletter tomorrow! Let's see if you see the connection. :)
I love the moths and butterflies posed amongst the brilliant flora, the complimentary and contrasting colors make the photos just come alive.
