Milkweed Beetles

Worth Fighting For? 

These images are of male Ring-necked Pheasants fighting for the courtship rights of a female not shown.  They are part of a 40 image sequence and were the very first pictures I ever produced with a digital camera.  Digital ignorance guided me to set my image quality to the smallest most basic jpg available.  Thankfully I continued to shoot slides for quite a while as I learned about digital photography.  As an aside neither of these guys won as the female flew off with another male while they fought.  Pheasants are a lot like people.

It Never Hurts To Buy Dinner

That’s all about love for now.  If you would like your “all about love” stories or photos ( nature only!!) published just let me know.
