Picture This!!

We are in Cancun this week(family reunion)

you are right Ann.

Lately I've been using my wifi camera to transfer to my phone like this one

Mt Baker from Dungeness Spit. Perfect weather on Saturday,

Wren, what a beautiful photo..

Ann, I think the tablet has a little problem with up close focus.

Of all the butterfly pics I have taken this Mother of Pearl butterfly was the most unique and beautiful one I have ever seen up close. This pic doesn't do it justice but it was iridescent just as the Mother of Pearl jewelry. It was purple and pink and thrilling to see.

Thanks Jan. I love the rose with the drops of rain. I need to get outside and take some pics of my roses before the frost hits them.

Catching up again Great photos ladies! Here's a couple of our resident hawk. He's shy and won't let me get too close.

Thanks Paulette. I posted last night to you and it apparently got lost in cyberspace. On my email it came through as thumbs up but somehow didn't come out that way on you post.

Thanks Wren. I just now looked up a video of this butterfly and this man has one on his hand. It was unbelievable. What a treat for him. It opened and closed it's wings and the contrast is remarkable. I am sure this is part of their camouflage and protection.

When I am on my laptop which houses all my pics I will post another remarkable butterfly with such contrasts.

Thanks Paulette. My photography was the silver lining to my bc. I have taken classes and workshops since and love it in my retirement. A neck surgery ended my music performance career so photography has been a great thing to fill that void. I was a band director for many years......hence my username.

Wren, as I was looking through my pics I didn't realize that I had a pic of the outside of the Orange Dead Leaf butterfly. In fact this one is probably the same one as the one pictured above. This is not a great pic with the green leaf in the way but you can see how much it does look like a dead leaf.

So now I'm going to have to look up butterfly anatomy to see how they manage this.

Nancy you macro photos are so sharp and beautiful! 👍🏼👍🏼
