I Should Keep the Window Clean

And I really should post more often.

Opened the blinds in the living room a couple of days ago to find this guy getting ready for his life's adventures.

We've kept milkweed growing through the winter and have been seeing these guys mating and flitting around our gardens all year.

I shot him at a variety of apertures and shutter settings along with a little flash. These will make some nice examples for the students in my upcoming classes.

For you techno guys, Nikon D300, 55mm Nikon Macro with SB900 for fill flash. That's teh old style, manual focus, manual aperture 55mm macro. Shooting through the window glass gave the color cast.
