It was so hot the day I took these that it was a study in patience and perserverance just to wait for them to stop fluttering long enough to push the shutter. The first one is a tad out of focus for photography purposes; but painting should be great.

Enjoy the butterflies.

Janet

I'm not really happy with this but tis time for dinner and I'm quitting in favor of feeding my face. :)

Janet
