More From Butterfly Heaven!

















Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory
I added a dash of HDR to the recipe to create a more tasteful and sophisticated palette of color for the discerning viewer. 
The truth of the matter is that some photos were a little blurry due to the fluttering nature of the erratic butterfly. 
The HDR has somehow helped the blurries to create a more pleasing and dramatic result.  
Really could not make up my mind which photos to publish so I published all of my favorites! 
I hope viewing these photos has given you a few peaceful and magical moments, a transmogrification so to speak! 
Seek out a butterfly garden and experience just a bit of Heaven.

Look Who Came To Dinner!

Riveting
Cleaning the sink after dinner I noticed something on my glass lanai door as I was gazing out the window thinking about today's blog. Obviously this gentle little creature was not what I had planned for today. It was dark and I only had the porch light to work with as I did not want to scare him with my flash. From the hall inside I took a couple of shots of froggy glued to the window, a suction cup kind of action, almost an invasion of his privacy! Belly and fingers flattened like we use to do as children pressing our nose against a window. I walked out thru another door to capture his backside.
My guess is that there was good eating around the lone shinning light. Flying creatures in a frenzy like state of being, sensing a ferocious predator! Guess you can never have to many frogs around, not particularly fond of insects myself!
Hubby arrived home just in time to enjoy the show, however froggy remained frozen in place, one eye fixed on my lens. 
Go away lady, how rude of you to interrupt my dinner, may have been his froggy thoughts. 
Wonder if he would have liked some of that seaweed stuff I've been eating? 
We respected his imaginary wishes and went inside, only later to discover that he had vanished. 
Guess I never know where my next inspiration will come from, sometimes they just drop by inviting themselves to dinner! How pleasantly rude!

Twilight!

Twilight
"Nature is painting for us...day after day... pictures of infinite beauty."
~John Ruskin~
The dictionary defines twilight: 
twilight |ˈtwīˌlīt| noun
The soft glowing light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, caused by the refraction and scattering of the sun's rays from the atmosphere.The period of the evening during which this takes place, between daylight and darkness. Twilight such a pretty time of day, the sun gently kissing the day farewell, resting a while, embarking on the dawn of new possibilities. Enjoy the twilight as there is only a short period of time to embrace it's subtle glow! Have a wonderful day!
