Congratulations on hitting the big 60!! It takes forever to get there and then it slows down from there!

What a lovely way to celebrate! Thank you for the flower! They are gorgeous! Happy December!

I am excited about your contest! Here is my entry! It is a Hummingbird Moth. When I first saw it, I thought it was a hummingbird, until I looked closer!

Congratulations on reaching rep 60 and becoming a dolphin! Well done! @chromiumone👏

It was very kind of you to host a giveaway while @whatisnew is is on vacation. Good luck, everyone!

This is a favorite photo of mine -- a carpenter bee busily collecting pollen from a cluster of Rose of Sharon flowers in my backyard. Hope you enjoy it too! #savethebees

Appreciate the compliment and thank you for the DERANGED! @chromiumone

I don't think many people realize the significant contributions bees play as pollinators in the ecosystem. They are the stitching that holds everything together. I heard on a nature show that if bees entirely disappeared from earth, mankind would only have four years left to live. We need to proactively save the bees before it's too late! 🐝

Hi,
I've been following this contest every week and love @whatisnew, but I'm not a photographer, nor am I an artist. I've never had the courage to actually enter. However, I have been tempted. Today I found a picture at this Harvard.edu site. The butterfly,
Heliconius xanthocles3 Archaeodontosaurus 4.0.jpg
looked like something I could try to approximate. So I began drawing, chalking and digitalizing.

First I sketched a butterfly, then tried to fill in color with chalk.
butterfly chalk for steemit.jpg
I scanned that image into my computer.

After that, I spent a lot of time (I'm retired he he) blending, coloring, comparing, resizing. Finally I came up with something I liked, although it only vaguely resembled Heliconius xanthocles.

This picture represents my entry into your contest:

butterfly possible final.jpg

I wasn't going to post this in a blog, because I was a little embarrassed by the poor skill level. However, when I saw that you invited us to drop our entry as a comment, I figured, why not?

Thanks so much for running this contest. My alternate blog was about a rather unpleasant disease (which I will return to). This was a lovely break.

Congratulations on your '60' and your 'dolphin' status!

You are so creative! You should name this beautiful, one-of-a kind butterfly "The Agmoore." : ) I love it and love you too! : )

agmoore2 (63) · 5 years ago

Hello, dear friend @whatisnew,
Thank you. This butterfly is one of a kind :)) You can see I had great fun playing with chalk and the computer. All to get my imprecise, but rather attractive (I think😁) creature.

I love your bee in flight. How do you capture these images? And I love that you can identify everything you photograph!
Have a most wonderful, richly creative day.

Your not-very-talented, but enthusiastic friend,
AG

$0.00

[-]

whatisnew (65) · 5 years ago

What? You ooze with talent AG!

Capturing anything in flight takes many, many photos to hopefully just get one that is not a total blur.

Keep the enthusiasm going, my friend. : )

chromiumone (62) · 5 years ago

Hello @whatisnew you made it !!
Glad to see an entry from you. Thanks for helping me celebrate.
Although getting the flu the next day kinda dampened my enthusiasm a bit lol
Now comes the hard part.... choosing from all the great photos here.....
That's a nice in flight capture you got there, I never get one that clear.

Thanks Bud! I hope you are feeling much better now.
You did get some amazing entries. Picking the winners would be so hard for me and that is why I choose at random. No pressure. : )
