Beautiful Bob, I understand these chaps are quite tiny?

Terrific, Bob. I have always hoped to see one down here but I'm not certain they venture this far south.

Bob,

As usual, I really like these images.  I prefer the second set.  I really like the context of the tree stump and the background is not distracting to me at all.  The detail is just stunning.

Regards,

Lowell
