Some nights, I dread prepping the picture post for the next day. Last night, was one of those nights. I was tired, and I did not have any pictures I felt were good enough to share. Then, I brought the dogs in for the night.
When I closed the patio door, I noticed a beautiful moth on the screen. “Perfect!” I thought.

I am married. We have two boys, two dogs, and two cats. I am on the Oxford Comma team. I look forward to my first large cup of coffee, black, every single morning, and I look forward to that second large cup of coffee, still black, every single afternoon.

Oh my gosh Lenore!!!! You are seriously amazing at this!
Thank you, Kim. I was glad this guy was out when I was getting ready for bed. He made my job easy. (smile)
I have that feeling a LOT.
A shot like this would sure help that, though!
Awesome detail and lighting… love the long, dramatic shadows, too!
This makes me want to visit the Butterfly House again! A.S.A.P.!
🙂
Is this a combination of on-camera flash and maybe a porch light?
I rarely have such success with my flash.
🙂
Yes, SIG. The on-camera flash was used, as well as a flood light. I was very pleased with this picture. I didn’t have to modify it at all – with the exception of the black border, which I always add.
I look forward to your shots from the butterfly house. Hurry along …
Who wouldda thunk it? A moth with character and beauty…

I know! Without the light, the moth looked ordinary, with the exception of its size. This particular moth is quite large. When I put a light on it – I realize the beauty of the wings and snapped… I snapped the picture, not the wings.
Love the special effect!
(I’m back from vacation and getting caught up on reading posts. 🙂 )
Welcome back, Jackie! Just in time for Friday Five!! 🙂
Pretty moth! I love it when a post appears just in the nick of time, too!
Me, too, Patti.
Hi,
A great photo, and it is a lovely colour, well done. 🙂
Hello Mags, thank you very much.
We had one of these at my front door the other day. She stayed for a night and a day and then disappeared. My friends and I named her Lunesta. Her wings were so pretty, I want a comforter that looks just like them.
Good shot Lenore!
