butterfly meetup
We went back to Payson and the Colonel Devin Trail yesterday but the winds were even stronger than last week so I didn’t come home with many photos. A great hike, though, and I did manage to get a photo for today. These Spring Azures are getting moisture from the ground. Think about the size of those grains of sand and you get an idea of how small these butterflies are!

Red Spotted Purple
This Red Spotted Purple butterfly was one of only seven I captured yesterday on the Colonel Devin Trail in Payson (Canon 300mm, ISO 1000, f/5.6 @1/800th sec). It was much cooler than expected, storm clouds and very windy. Butterflies don’t like that kind of weather but it was still a great day thanks to our master spotter, Marceline from CAZBA!

Hairstreak
(Google Readers users: Click on title to go to post)
This tiny butterfly is a Hairstreak I captured last year in Payson, AZ (digitally, of course). CLICK HERE for a gallery of shots from that trip. We’re going back this weekend and I hope to get as many as last time! Tech: 100-400, ISO 400, f/9.5, 1/3000th sec.

Catching butterflies sitting still is tough so I was thrilled to not only capture one with open wings but also a great shadow. (Desert Botanical Gardens Butterfly Pavilion 2004)

Moving!
Welcome to my new blog! I was going to wait until I had everything in place but there’s no time like the present, right?! Besides, I wasn’t able to export my old posts (there were too many). I checked the WordPress forums, read all the options but none guaranteed all my content would transfer properly. Since I was going to be losing things like your valuable comments, for instance!, I decided to make the move but keep the old blog active. (http://ezpixels.com/pad/)
To christen this new blog, here’s a little slide show of favorite images (B/W conversions). If you’re reading this from Google Reader, you need to click on the TITLE of this post if want to view the slide-show properly. Please let me know if you experience any viewing issues. Stay tuned for lots more content!
