Butterfly Safari

Here's my contribution to yesterday's butterfly adventure with Ron, Russ, Ben, Mrs Ben (Larua), and Jeff. I managed to get a few images to share, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it. The first is a Cecropia, ID courtsey of Ron, a real beauty in my book, and the last, as a complement to Ben's children picture, is one I took last year, but which I think deserves a repost.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    very well captured, all with sufficient DOF and clarity.

    Thanks Ric, I asked the mom for permission, which she granted, but I don't know who they are and can't send them a copy. My own little Mona Lisa. :D:D
