Shooting the Butterflies by stray_shooter

Shooting the Butterflies

Shooting with their cameras, that is....because shooting butterflies with a gun would be difficult and pointless. Louise (left) @weezilou and Anita (right) @aglennc had a plethora of the creatures to choose from.
Oh dear God, Ron! You've shattered my illusions that my weight loss cured this problem area! Don't be scared...I will not retaliate...

I only shoot butterflies...

(How can I fave this when I want to cry? OK... Back to the exercises....)

Wonderful candid capture Ron full of interest and colour, went to a butterfly aviary it was so hot in there had to wait for my camera to defog before starting to capture them, had to smile at Louise @weezilou comment I felt the same about my lack of hair on the shot posted by jorlam @jorlam as they say " the camera never lies by the photographer frequently does" ,lol:)

@Weezilou You wish to be a stick-thin, miserable, self-obsessed skeleton?? or a warm and cuddly human being who cares about things other than self? i'd choose the latter and to hell and back with anyone who doesn't like it.. look at any Rembrandt painting of real women, they are not stick thin with bones jutting out.. love you as you are..

@jorlam Wow my friend...how very sweet and thoughtful of you! I will agree that the old Masters did paint voluptuous women and, personally, I'd rather spend a day in an art museum looking at those than leafing through a current Vogue fashion magazine! You're my kind of guy ♥

and Peter @pcoulson it's nice that we've come to know one another so well here that we can chide, but still laugh off the insecurities amongst friends! ♥ to you, too!

@Weezilou I agree with jorlam. You are beautiful and voluptuous on the outside. And even more beautiful on the inside. We still need to send the cheetah after Ron.

@joysfocus Clearly he's a "Butt Man" but he needs to go after a younger chick! Thank you, my dear kind friend!

@stray_shooter Love this candid shot and its colours!
@jorlam and @joysfocus I completely agree with you!
@Weezilou My homeopath recently told me, referring to my "round shape", that he found me "florida", an italian term that can be translated with the words "prosperous", "glowing"... I found it brilliant and feel really proud of being a "florida" woman! ;)

@frappa77 @joysfocus ♥Love you two! At my age I honestly do accept what I am, and I nearly always feel well-loved, so it's likely not about the "robe" I wear! Anymore I just laugh that Ron catches me like this...and I'll start wearing dark pants when we all go out together! ♥
