Nature in the desert

A few weeks ago the Army took us on a trip to Kuwait City where I took
these pictures. I took about 500 pictures but only a few stood out,
these were some of them. I was lucky enough that the night before one of
the contractors that I worked with let me borrow his Nikon 70-300mm lens
which allowed me to zoom in really close to this butterfly without
having to get close to it and possibly scaring it away. I fell in love
with this lens and as soon as I can convince my wife to let me buy it, I
will. I didn't do much to these images other than fixing the white
balance, cropping and removing some of the dirt from the pedals. Hope
you enjoy them as much as I do.
