Zebra

Thank you all for your kind words about my Charlie yesterday. He goes for some blood work in the morning and hopefully we will find an answer. He is doing much better today with his antibiotics working.

I took over 500 photos today. Excessive? I went to the Butterfly Show at Krohn's Conservatory and spent about two hours wandering around snapping like crazy. They won't allow a tripod as it is too crowded so the clarity suffers but these incredible creatures are so fast that it probably wouldn't have helped much anyway. They give little flower cards so you can try to get them to land which is just what some kind soul did here.
I'm gla Charlie is doing better, great butterfly capture Cathy

Yeah, a tripod isn't much use when shooting butterfly's. They don't stay in one place long enough to set up your shot. Flower cards, huh? That's a new one on me. Great idea!
April 24th, 2012  
Wonderful! The light, the colour, the patterns......don't we live in a wonderful world!
April 24th, 2012
