I'm not sure how Gruditch decides the themes for forthcoming Photo Competitions, but if any of those three pics fit the bill I think the rest of us ought to just sit it out on the sidelines. Very, very lovely images indeed. Marvellous.

The last shot with the coiled proboscis is particularly impressive

Very nice images, pays to get up early in morning. :) Must to that sometime soon and head to my local patch to see if any common blues are there early in morning.
Cheers all,
