Once again, my friend, you've captured nature in a view that is typically only seen in the pages of a National Geographic magazine.

Well done my friend!

Hi Craig- You silver tongued Devil, you! Thanks a bunch, Craig!

Morning Mary! I was wondering what he sees? Does he see form, or just color? I'm going to have to look that up....

Well I'm out for the day, and will check in later this afternoon!

Have a good day!

PS my word here is 'cherapu' - gonna have to look that up too!

Deb,

Another great shot from the butterfly excursion. I'm hoping to go to one here next week.

Now, tell us about the new bevel you have on the edge of your photo.

Hi there Rich, You will love it if you go - and you have to promise to share your photos! The bevel I used is a filter in photoshop - Google Extensis PhotoBevel and download it to photoshop!

Hi Paul - I'm glad I found it too! It was trying to hide.... :)

But look at the wingspan on that critter:-)  He may have thought he was hiding, but certainly wasn't doing a very good job of it! 

I once had a beagle who would hide under the bed when strangers came.  The problem was, he only slid half his body under, and leave the hind half sticking out from beneath the bed:-)

Al and Peggy - Apparently all these 'nonsense' words aren't nonsense afterall:

Cherapu is believed to be a native of Malaysia.  It grows from North to South of Malaya.  This fruit is also grown as a back yard tree mostly in villages in South East Asia for its fruits.

So whose job is it to find these obscure words? I want that job!

Hi Toula- Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Not the prettiest face in the world (like your kitties), but interesting just the same! LOL

Thank you very much, Jennifer! It is a joy to make the shots, but even more so to share them. I'm glad to see you!
