I'm sure that Gosling's saying "Ooooh look - I'm getting grown up tail feathers" (3rd picture)

Macro lens put to use?

Thanks Tricia. (these comments are appearing all over the place tonight lol)

I love the butterflies: the Holly and Common Blue. They're so delicate. The Musk Mallow is nice too. And the last one - it's my dream to take a photo of such a creatute. They're great for macro photos - especially their eyes.
Nice shots, Keith:)

I love that Greylag gosling shot and the focus on his tail...cool perspective. Love the eye on the Common Blue and the angle on the sweet little butterfly. I have to agree with what Hillary said! (Great new ID photo--your hair rocks!)
