I love the patterns and textures of so many of the others. The delicacy of the butterfly and the light shining through is lovely. Gosh, when you post so many great photos, I could just go on and on and on . . . ! As if I need more reason to ramble! Ha! Ha!<BR/><BR/>I always love the big cats. I'm thinking the tiger was yawning - great timing. Either that, or he's saying "Yuck, ptooey!!" and spitting something out that didn't taste very good. LOL!<BR/><BR/>I like that the animals are all very close up. The composition is very good. :DDianne - Bunny Trailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604043807160470553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357106425964870484.post-65781554580539139952008-06-18T10:44:00.000-07:002008-06-18T10:44:00.000-07:00The butterfly pics are AWESOME!
