<p>Gordon - I've not noticed that problem with the reds, but the yellows/golds on some of the flower details give me fits on occasion.</p>

<p>Bill - Really nice shot of the swallowtail. I've been trying to get a shot that shows the translucence of the wings but have not managed any shots that good. </p>

<p>This was the first year I saw oystercatchers on the beach where I go every summer. They were pretty skittish compared to the usual gulls. I managed to keep the remnants of sandcastles and the people on the beach out of this shot.<br>

<p>Thanks Glenn, I love the jumping shot. It really shows you the mass of that beautiful bull.</p>

<p>oops - it would appear the current scientific name of the RSM is <em>Tubulifera arachnoidea</em> instead</p>
