Awesome Photo!
Ken,
I like how you shot this long-legged beetle ... properly focused, blurring surface really makes it stand out. Well done.

Thanks for the kind words.
I also enjoyed meeting you. I hope your trip home was better than your trip to the gathering!

Yes, only one delayed flight on the way home, as opposed to one canceled and two delayed!
