  1. I know that feeling, endlessly chasing a butterfly. Glad you got it! Posted 9 years ago
    1. thank you, it feels so good that there are others chasing around in the undergrowth for flutterbies.
      Some years ago I arrived at work totally scratched.
      - did you try to bathe your cat?
      - No I got a large blue at last

      1. Macro photography changes your perspective. When one person sees a piece of unmanaged wild growth in disgust, I'm thinking: cool! I wonder which new insects are in there. Plus, people look at me weirdly when discovering me unexpectedly in some bush, apparently photographing nothing. Posted 9 years ago
        1. My British friend Lynne asked me a few months back
          'How do you say I'm knitting a sock in Spanish?"
          Really, I can't imagine you.. well it is soy tricontando calzetinos I replied, a bit puzzled.

          Oh she said, I need an answer to " what are you doing" when I am on my knees under a bush holding a camera in the park! she explained.
          I was in fits
