Butterfly

Another wonderful creation at the zoo:)

As i took shots of the damselfly and this butterfly at the zoo,i cannot help but think of my motherly AM3 friend,Mary,who takes fantastic pictures of everything under the sun.I can still remember her series of butterfly shots.This is inspired by her. And not forgetting her wonderful train series of which one was dedicated to Caleb.And this is for you,Mary:)

errrmmm....is it a butterfly or moth??? :p
Thought butterflies close their wings when they stop flying? Or is it the moths?
Is Caleb still at home or back to sch? We're going to let Robyn resume her classes tomorrow. Can't keep her at home for too long or she'll refuse to go back to her 'happy sun'. Hope the virus dies down....
