#1. Flight Delta 901 coming in for a landing....
Waited patiently within the plant cluster for around 20 mnts. The butterflies started coming back. Armed with Macro lens and Extension tubes, I was not going miss the action, this world has to offer.
As a photographer, this is a mandatory cooling period that you spend, for nature around you to settle down to your presence. But these 15-30 minutes gives you such a lovely perspective of world around you. The pleasant flowers smile for no apparent reason, the butterflies, birds busy in collection of their food, some just frolicking by, some challenging their own kin. When you observe them with patience, you realise, each creature has a personality, attitude, a world around him. HE must be a master craftsman, this cannot happen by accident.
These were small about and inch height butterflies, landing on a less than an inch dia flowers.
Snapped several hundred shots of butterflies in the air... but after a recent public molestation by seniors and professors about the cropped shots, threw many away, to finally get one that had the right focus on the eyes of the butterfly and also the complete frame.

#2. "proboscis" is the tube like structure that butterfly use to such nectar from the flowers. In this macro, you can see the nectar being sucked and part of the it visible through the semi-translucent proboscis tube. You can also see the eyes in fairly sharp focus.

#3. The spidey - not larger than two grains of rice together, had almost hidden this wonder of nature. Was lucky to get some good frontal shots.
Here is one of them. Will help, if someone can identify this guy.
More can be seenhere.
