About
Butterfly Friend


Butterfly friend, how well do I know you
How long will you stay is the question I ask
Butterfly friend how well do you know me
How long will you love me
Do I love you too?

Butterfly friend, there poised in the shadows
Which of the blooms gives the scent you prefer?
Butterfly friend from flower to flower.....
How long will you love me
Do I love you too?

You of the beautiful bright coloured wings
Take of my sweetness:
Soar to the sky
Whilst I, on the sidelines, keep track of your flight
Take of my sweetness
And fly!

Butterfly friend no more in the shadows
Free from the flowers now faded and pale
Butterfly friend I know that you love me
You ask if I love you?
You know that I do.

Waking up, I see the Victory of Obama, being a bit surprised you didnt mind Maccain becoming the new Pres. It couldnt go on like this and they say here it would have got worse if your fav would have been chosen...think thats not a good sign, No more wars, although it of course is never sure what will happen next... I can only hope and wish your country will become in a better future.
Maybe it is a great background to have been a prisoner of war for some years, you dad being away as an admiral on sea? Ohhh...this is a nice discussion and I like it as you know so much more about it then I do! Just hoping your poor people will be taken care of better in social securities etc but then this will take more then 2 months before he can start... Hoping you did celebrate as well, and went for a good sleep:))
Hugs Jen

I am not wishy-washy, but I see good and bad in each candidate. Obama has a great personality and is great at making speeches, but I do not trust his background and his policies on taxes. McCain has a great background, but is getting old and people are looking for change. I am a little conservative and tend to like McCain a little better. I am OK with it if Obama wins; he may bring fresh and new ideas for our country.

Woww...that must have been a wonderful trip, to see all these butterflies and you were not abe to catch one? I think to see this, you running after these butterflies I would have been rolling over the floor....lollll
Also feeling sorry for you, but you still made me laugh loud here, hoping you dont mind:)) I like your honesty, telling your are clumsy...so sweet!!
I would have loved to make a butterfly shot for you...maybe one day?
Be well and tell me the result of the election please, we are very curious here..who do you want to win?

I was hiking in the mountains this weekend and saw so many butterflies, but they all landed in mud or something not picturesque. I did see a beautiful sight; a doe nursing a fawn. The fawn was so little it must have been only a couple of weeks old. By the time I got my camera ready I spooked them and didn’t get a picture. I am so clumsy. I would love to see your would too.

Your too kind dear Bruce, how wonderful it would be to hike with you in the mountains, watchinf butterflies in the meantime, enjoying waterfalls:)
I am lucky with this one dear, think with others too many times why they rate so low, but thats just me...:))
Be well, hugs Jenxx

Jen,
Without having had a course you make great shots. Full of feeling and with a good perspective. That is your natural talent. Accept that from me please.

The course will learn you to make technical good images. Promise me you will always use your feeling primary and use technique from the course to prevent some flaws.
Met een hartelijke groet, Harry

Thanks my dear Aziz, you made me smile, not sure
this was good enough, the flower distracts me,
not being clear! Been looking hard for the right
poem, this came close to my feelings...
Big hugs for you, enjoy your Sunday!

Tsssss...now you are joking again my big teaser:))
think just Riny and Nicole know a lot about these
great creatures, for me its still a struggle,
hoping it will get better becoming a macro lens
one! I know more about elephants and lions....
