Natures Train Crash
This was taken with a flash of course.. it was later on in the eve and I saw these two working there way to a crash.. So I popped up and hand held as close as I dared with time running out. Its kind of neat the background was almost black .. these fellows do have neat color dabs on em..

I can only dream of capturing something like this. Flowers give me enough trouble, let alone a (potentially) moving target such as these. Great job, Chuck.
