Description

I was able to still a couple of hours early Saturday for a long overdue morning of photography. My cell phone off, alone, at one of my favorite areas on the south side of Arbuckle Lake. My only companion was a couple of voices coming from somewhere across the lake. My biggest decision was which lens of use and what direction to go. I choose a path I had not been down before and that’s where I found this female Hayhurst’s Scallopwing, first one I’ve gotten the chance to shoot. She stayed in the foliage being very elusive. I took what she gave me and tried to make the best of it. Sorry for not being around to comment in the last couple of months, things are still a little crazy here. Hope all is well, thanks for viewing and for any comment’s you choose to leave.
