Beautiful Butterfly

Uploaded: June 17, 2008

Description

Taken at the Butterfly Rainforest in Gainesville, Florida. Lots of beautiful butterflies in there. Had my macro setting on. This one stayed here for the longest time. I won't be able to comment after Wednesday on photos. I go in for my surgery on my left arm on Thursday. While I vacation I fell and I have a torn Rotor cuff. I also have torn ligaments in my ankles. I'm sure I won't be able to use the computer or take pictures for awhile:(

Kay- Good evening my friend. Am so sorry to hear that you got yourself all banged up. Am hoping the surgery will go well and the healing process will not take to long. In the meantime our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Do what you need to to get well again.
I am forever fasinated with butterflies and the beautiful colors and fasinating designs of the wings. Truely God's work. This is a beautiful presentation with fabulous lighting and clarity. The color on this one is unique and pastel. The oval shaped markings are awesome. Details give such definition.
Excellent work
Take care of yourself, be safe, Good luck with the surgery, see you when you get back. #6071816
