My apologies for the recent submission bombardment.  I really didn't intend for 40-some odd deviations to show up on your recent submission list. I was just updating a lot of my photos (for proper exposure and color) and adding borders to them all. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! --- I think animals make really great subjects, and so I've decided to keep a running list of animals that I've shot.  Enjoy... especially the new butterflies! --- BIRDS --- Bald Eagle : One Blue Jay : One King Vulture : One --- INSECTS --- Butterfly : Banded Orange Heliconian - Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - Julia - Monarch - White Peacock - Zebra Longwing C

The scraps feature is awfully handy, so I've decided to move a lot of my images into the scraps area.  In the future, I think I'll end up submitting my images as deviations, and then moving them over into the scraps area after a while. Also, I've made a few purchases lately: * A Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor ED-IF lens. * A Gitzo G1228 tripod with a Markins M10 ballhead.  For the QR plates, I've picked up the Kirk Photo PZ-92 and the LP-45.  Wee!  I can't wait for a decent tripod, finally.
