Rick,

I can understand the problem. My eyes are blurry when I wake up, getting better as the day goes on. I always schedule eye exams after lunch.

Glad you liked the images.

I continue to be amazed by how well you can focus those old lenses, Jim.
My attempts to use the old Oly 3.5/50 macro on the E-1 gave me headaches
and fuzzy flowers. 😞

Nicely done, Jim.  The moth looks particularly good.

With insects, the proboscis is defined as a long, flexible tube that is
used to extract nectar from a flower.  I managed to catch two such
instances today.
This Clearwing Moth was happily feeding on the Buddleia blooms. The
proboscis is extended into the throat of a bloom.

This Silver-Sided Skipper is using its proboscis in a similar fashion.
