Dead ButterflyI'm almost caught up now.  If my math is correct, I owe one more photo and then I'm back on track. 

The first shot is of a dead butterfly I found on the side of the road.  I'm just full of romance and whimsy with that shot. 

The second shot is actually today's photo.  Taking photos of tiger lillies is a pain in the ass frankly.  The flower is so big and sprawling that getting the whole thing in focus is tough.  This time I went with a long lens and stepped way back.  That put the background way out of focus but gave me just enough depth of field to keep the flower focused.  I was surprised to discover the spider web in the shot after I took it.  It had completely escaped my attention prior to that moment.Tiger Lilly
