It was sitting right there...flapping its wings slowly. Was it hurt? I could not tell. I went out and it flew away
It was this past Friday. I was home taking care of some important items on my list (mainly clean the house...with Nancy gone, it was my responsibility...) and I look out the door and there is the butterfly in the same spot, just outside the door.
My camera was right there, with the normal 55mm lens. Not my choice, but I wanted to get a few shots before it flew away...
Slowly, I open the door and very gently kneel down and click away
click...click...click...

Go to look at how they are turning out and see the notation on the menu screen...
AAARRRGGG...I had taken the SD card out to transfer pictures to the computer and forgot to put it back in...
So, inside I go...get the SD card...put on the telephoto lens, because heck-a-doodle, I might get an even better shot.
I go outside and the butterfly is gone. I decide to take some photos of the items on the porch, adjusting the settings in the bright sun.
I head inside for a while to finish up some chores.
A little while later I look out the door and my friend is back.
I slowly move outside again and I kneel down gently and click away. The butterfly poses for me and flaps its wings slowly showing me the blue color on top and the orange color on the bottom.
click...click...click...
With the zoom lens I am getting up close and personal...
click...click...click...
Finally the butterfly gets tired of this and flys away. I move inside to look at the pictures I took...

AAARRGGGGGGGGGG...I never checked the settings and now, as I was shooting in a shadow my settings were not correct and there is nothing there...well, almost nothing...look real close, there is a butterfly there...
Really, the butterfly was real...it was there...I took its picture, can't you see it????....
(and yes, it looked very similar to the one up top...)
Tonight joining me on The Couch will be Michael Sokolowski from the band Sokoband. Michael had real life intrude the last time he was scheduled, but we welcome him back.
Sokoband is redefining itself with the recent re-release of the 1997 debut album, In November Sunlight. The CD contains 10 tracks, eight of which are new versions of the songs from the debut and the other two are previously unreleased.
Then we will welcome Shelley & Cal James to The Couch. Married in life as well as music, these two performers have found a sound that caught my ear quickly.
They create music meant for the ear, but also the spirit and soul.
I hope you can join us, this evening, 9:00pm central time at Music On The Couch, or listen anytime from the archives also found there.
The fans got the show up to #13 this past week...I thank you!

I'm still happy with your recommendation of Eva Cassidy. Sent her info to a couple friends too. I believe you about the butterfly.
I believe you about the butterfly. What I find difficult to believe is all this trouble you had with the camera! All that back and forth, and then with the wrong settings...sounds like something I'd do.
LOL!
Apparently your camera is just a leetol too complicated for you to use. Maybe a good, cheap point and click like I have would be a better idea. LOL ;-)
Did you feel like you were doing the dumb sh#t shuffle while pursuing butterfly's?
Some folks see dead people, you see butterflies *shrugs*
TECHNO: Glad you are enjoying her sound
TRAVIS: I am amazed I screwed it up so badly
JAY: LOLOL Or I am just an idjit sometimes
MICKEY-T: I most certainly did
DANA: bwahahahahahahahahahahaha see, you get it
...butterflies are free...
I actually see the butterfly in all your pictures ;)
Aw bad luck. I believe you.
I tried to take butterfly snaps yesterday on a walk up to a quarry, but my old bashed up camera couldn't differentiate between the butterflies and the leaves and you can't see them amidst the pixels.
LOL That so sounds like something I'd do!
What Jay said. ;)
Sure Vinny....we ALL see a butterfly.
How much of that cleaning fluid did you inhale while Nancy was away? Hmmmmm?????
Phfrankie: This one was
DIANNE: See, that is a friend!
TOPCHAMP: Thanks for believing...sorry about your pictures
MARGARET: This time it was me!
MIMI: HEY now...just a little!
