    A Butterfly

    Butterflies.jpg

    I took this two or three years ago at a butterfly conservatory in Grand Cayman.

    It's a D70 with an 18-70mm lens.

    Can't tell how to attach the image so it's full size, so you'll have to click it to see it fully.

    You get butterflies by mating flys and butter, of course. It can be tricky, since butter can be slippery...

    We must feel ourselves sick before we can duly prize the Great Physician, and feel a sentence of death in ourselves before we can effectually trust in God, who raiseth the dead. - John Newton (1725-1807), in a letter to the Rev. Mr. S. (September 6, 1775).

    When I lived on Grand Cayman there was no butterfly conservatory - only turtles!
