Ok a few eeks ago I took my EOS30 and some Kodak Max 400 HD2 film for a walk through some local scenery. It's a place called Booralong Creek, great place to catch Rainbow Trout in the winter. Anyhoo, There were butterflies everywhere! So amazing. Didn't see any kangaroos though. Here are two of the butterflies I found.

    I see the wonderfull pictures everyone is taking of all of the wildlife. The green grass, colorfull flowers, insects, and birds on green trees, and it really makes me ....SICK!..... AND DO YOU KNOW WHY.... I LIVE IN WISCONSIN and this time of year not much is colorfull, insects are hiding, everyone is dressed in ten layers of close, and everything colorfull is crappy BROWN...

    I just wanted to thank you all for reminding me just how much I hate winter...heheheh

    Have a wonderfull time in that warm weather.

    Thanks Angelo. It was late afternoon filtering through the thick trees. Hitting them in just the right places. Sometimes its as if they knew where you wanted them to sit:D

    So you got yourself some Butterlies hey thumb.gif and not easily captured either are they........ they fly off so fast, yet others are quite happy to sit for long periods of time.
    Looks like you had a nice day.......so no fish for dinner? didn't catch any?
    Take Care.......see you on MSN later okay....... Skippy (Australia)
