These first 3 were shot with my T4i and 70-200 f4L

I've been told this is a Tiger Swallowtail butterfly.

This is a Carpenter Bee. I thought it was interesting to see the pollen all over this guy. I've read that Carpenter Bees play a very important role in pollinating plants every spring, I can see how.

I took over a dozen shots trying to get one of these bees in flight, this was the only one that was decent. At least when I'm photographing a track meet I have a pretty good idea where the runners are going, these bees are all over the place.

And the last 2 were shot with my XSi and Tamron 17-50 f2.8

This is an Anole that was shading himself on a fence post all day yesterday. It hopped in the shrubs every time that I walked by, finally decided to grab a camera and try to get some shots of it. It was brown when on the post, and turned green when it was hiding in the shrubs. You can still see a bit of brown in it's coloring in the first shot, by the time I took the second shot it had finished changing color.
