Stopped by the Roger Tory Peterson Institute today on a scouting mission, many dragonflies there but only had my handheld unit so I'll have to come back with my big setup. Lots of Skippers though.

D7000, Sigma 150, f13 @ 1/250 ISO 320, SB-R200 with Diffuser, Handheld.

Tracy, This very nice. Solid colors and the skipper with the proboscis extended looks lovely.

Killer image, Tracy. Great detail and I love the feeding behavior you captured here.
