I want to dedicate this one to my dear friend John, (the lion) who is going through some rough times.♥

John, your a member in good standing, and I know you have many friends on Caedes. Please know we are thinking of you!♥

I used the macro tubes for this capture.

Thank you for your comments.

Tigs♥ =^..^=

Hi, Tigs, this is a perfectly focused shot of this little butter fly. Let me apologize for not commenting on your previous posting. After nearly a week away, I was well over a gazzilion comments to write and am just picking one from each of my Caedes friends.

First of all in California, butterflies are not free. They are not cheap nor are they inexpensive. My butterfly salad in La Jolla was $15, and I thought they were pretty cheap with the ingredients.

Beautiful shot of this little guy. Tell him the next time you see him to avoid the migration west. He looks more appealing in this shot on the flower than in my salad bowl.

Awwww i love this one! He is not as pretty as the others you have posted but he is somehow much more cute with his big eyes and leaning stance as if he is looking for someone! He is like a little woeful baby butterfly :D On a different topic another utterly stunning capture. The lighting in particular is just sensational! I am starting to covert your macro tubes!

Another sensational shot, Sandi. Since there is no more VB or C-I, we can now imagine anything we want about a shot. I imagine this to be a 100.5......LOL.

A lovely clear and sharp butterfly and the overall golden tones really make this a delight to view.
I am sure John will love it and be warmed by it and your sentiments.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
