Walden Preserve

[GaryT]

I had the opportunity to visit a preserve in a nearby town, that is somewhat famous for its abundance of butterflies and birds. Mostly meadows with shoulder high grasses and weeds, and loaded with wild flowers. I found a lot more butterflies than I was able to capture. Thought I'd share some of what I found.

Least Skipper (Ancyloxpha numitor)

beautiful Demoiselle and Dragonfly. Some of the images have a slightly glazed finish - is this something you did in PS?
