Matej - That is a really beautiful landscape photo! I love the composition with the fence and the colors & contrast are perfect!

John, great catch. Dragons in flight is a tough task!
Thought some of these turned out ok.

Here are couple of pictures from my front yard. Currently I have a bit of an infestation of Cicada Killer Wasps. While kind of scary looking they are fairly harmless. Both are female wasps probably around two inches in length.

@ Neuro, Jayson & Lancer - Now these are some awesome shots!! [Y] [Y] [Y]
Anyone else noticing a very low count of butterflies this summer? Last year at this time I have shots of butterflies all over, now I rarely see them! [:(]
