One of the things I also did while in Ohio was go to the Metro Zoo. They
had some neat things there. I went to this butterfly house. It was so
humid in there that my clothes were soaked in about 2 minutes. It was
all steamy and moisture ridden for the plants, lizards, and butterflies.
It was hard to get pics of them resting. Good thing for the digital
camera because I deleted about a hundred to get these pics. :) A luxury
that regular cameras do not afford. You know instantly whether it is a
go or not..

They also had a rain forest exhibit. That was incredibly cool. I got
some really good fruit bat pics. More to come on that.

Sorry, Anakin.. No monarchs.. *smile* But they would have been welcome
in my eyes. Especially the lesser seen yellow and black ones.

What was also interesting was climbing into this seat and being strapped
in. You took a simulated look at nature from the animals eyes. And the
chairs moved all over the place. You were a frog jumping from lily pad
to lily pad. Then a deer being chased through the woods darting in and
out. A bear, and an owl flying, soaring through mountains. And last but
certainly not least a dolphin.. It was intense. You definitely needed to
be seat belted in.. whooo hooo!

::smiles:: Nice work BrendaLee!! :o) I think I better get my but in gear and
start scanning my negatives so I can share some of what I saw last year.
Geeze.... There's a butterfly place a few miles down the road from me, and
I've heard so much about it... I just haven't gotten there yet. I should check
it out. They are tricky as they move so fast.
:o) There's becoming lots of awesome photographers here! Patrick, Rob,
Jim, BrendaLee..... I love it!

Me piggybacking!
(I can't help it, to see me jumping on the back of a pig...where does
this expression come from anyway?)

Butterflies are good subjects, with their colors. Didn't the camera
fog up a little, because of the tropical conditions?

Mee too!
I wonder, maybe it has something to do with the way we look at the
world? We all appreciate the beauty of life, what better way is there
to show this beauty to others by pictures?

Hi guys and gals, and Brenda Lee,

I love these pics. I loved your first pics
as well, but you have really improved. :)
Keep up the good work.

I wish I could take pictures like these; but
my hands shake too much. I tried sewing
once, but soon realized that I was better at
fixing sewing machine than I was at using
them. Painting? Tried it..... can't draw a
decent stick figure for a kid. But I finally
did find a media where I can, as Patrick
would say, show the beauty that I see to
others by pictures. Funny thing is that this
media is a mix of photography, painting,
and a dash of sewing.

I made this picture for my Step-daughter
for her 18th birthday. Tell me what you
think.

Hello hugs. It is so much fun Richard.. I just learned that I have a
rapid shutter feature on my camera.. So, I could have gotten the
butterflies in motion. Next time.

That would be nice.

It is peaceful just being around them.

hugs to you, Richard.

And thanks for your undying friendship. Had you pegged as a good guy
from the onset. I love it when I am not wrong..

Some of our expressions are really whacked. Step on a crack, break your
mothers back? What is up with that anyway?

Yes. I had to keep wiping it. Some places were even more steamy with you
trying to see through the mist. So hot. But it was equally cool as a
woman had to stand guard at the door so none could escape as we people
folk were filing in and out...

A special moment captured in time can live on forever.. And beauty of
life and love is always worth striving for. I think.

Hi Yayha,

I think it is beautiful! It's not clear to me what part is painted,
sewed or photgraphed, but that doesn't matter. The result is very
good. I like it.
Her gaze is as mysterious as the smile of Mona Lisa.
Beautiful...

Thanks for showing Leonardo! ;)
Do you have more works like that?

She is a beautiful young lady. I especially
love her eyes.

A couple more. I morphed my boss's face
with Einstein for his 40th birthday. He
still has it on his wall. :)
