The Dear Hunter: <pic>
A common checkered skipper
b1-66er: That's a great shot.
I've never seen one of those.
(Great name, too.)
DH: I don't recall seeing one either. It is in my front yard.
b1: I love love love the framing of that photograph.
Feels almost museum diorama-like.
DH: Good green colorization.
b1: Yes.
And the infinite tunnel just to the right of the butterfly...
Making the insect
More bold
&
More delicate
I think of it as a symbol of the delicate sense of nature...
...And whatever the hell that thing is in the upper R corner.
DH: Just a dried up poppy seed head.
b1: AH.
I thought it could be:
a snail
a cocoon
a dead leaf
But for sure whatever it was was a cycle-of-life statement.
Helps round out the picture, immensely.
DH: I went back too see.
I was guessing a snail.
b1: Yeah.
Again, it's a really great shot.
I just sent it to Special K as a present.
