13-JAN-2007 Petesie

01/13/07

I know our weather is better than many people are experiencing, but I did stay close to home.
Welcome rains, but flooding and a tornado nearby. I thought I'd photograph this sweet little
butterfly that sits on my desk. A birthday gift from two of my grandchildren.

The photo was taken on the top of my kitchen stove
lit with the light under the microwave.
(A hint from Laine a long time ago.)

Nikon D80
1/13s f/5.3 at 65.0mm iso100 full exif

That idea was so long ago but it works well...a sweet shot Petesie. I hope that flooding & tornado don't eventuate !!

I remember that hint!-it seems like a century ago :) Works as well now as it did then.
Been watching that weather for you :(

How thoughtful of your grandchildren. They know that Grandma loves butterflies.
Very nicely captured Petesie, lovely background.
