We took the back roads home from our trip to Abilene. Along the way we stopped and got some nice photos of some “summer flyers” including hummingbird moths, Monarch butterflies and some bumble bees that were so pollen-laden they could hardly fly! All but one of the images below were processed using the Fractalius photoshop filter.
The scene of the crime.
