I have looked through my collection and picked a few good shots to share with you:

Speckled Wood Female (Taken Today, 05/06/07):

Silver Y Moths feeding on Thistle (12/09/06) First moth/butterfly pic I ever took, with my Vivitar 4345

Peacock Butterfly (04/04/07)

and this final one for now, Orange-Tip Female (09/05/07)

what do you think? As the year progresses on and I get out and about more my style should impove with experience. Its hard with only a compact. Oh well, still I get better than average pics and it does require more skill as you need to get closer than with a DSLR.

Well, I think you've got much better in the short time we've 'known' you, Dave! With your evident passion and enthusiasm I guess there are great things to come...
