It has the most angelic little face, such perfection in such a tiny body.
Lovely.

Thanks Kelly. Not too small, about a 2" wingspan. Probably the angle I took it at makes it look smaller lol

Thanks Theresa. :-)

Thank you Gemel :-)

Very nice shot. I just bought my first macro lens and am having fun learning its ins and outs. (Thank god this digital age has made multiple bracketing affordable....)
