I Heart Faces - Pets


OK, I know this is not a pet. But, if I had a net and caught it and brought it home to fly around my apt. then it would be ha ha. I am calling this 'The Galloping Butterfly'!
I took this last week while on a city photo walk about with my photography group. Right at the end we came across an overgrown lot and found these butterflies. They were really pretty tame. And they were really pretty! My friend had lent me her macro (Nikon speak=micro) for the day. Earlier on the walk, I mentioned I needed some butterflies to photograph and BOOM, I got my butterflies! Love it, and loved chasing these! There was also this HUGE bee that was so laden down with pollen that it looked like it might drop from the sky, but I didn't get a good shot as it was pretty far away!

Oh, that's pretty... and you're in Okinawa... *totally* jealous. That is a magical place... I'm going to go get lost in your blog and website now... and maybe sniffle a little. I miss my childhood home. (My dad was at Kadena during my teenage years.. I was in the first Freshman class at Kadena High School.)
