Either a Comma or Question mark butterfly seen this past Saturday 18 Feb at Broughtons Wildlife Education Center outside Marietta Ohio.

It has been a very warm Winter and this past week had daytime highs in the 60's. The warmer temps have awakened hibernating butterflies like this fellow, (I'm going with Comma).

I cant deny enjoying the warmer temps and having the opportunity to see butterflies like the Mourning Cloak and Comma one to two months early, But I still would feel a little less concerned if Winter would act like Winter is supposed to, LOL.

... if these heels were real, which ones would you choose?

another chance encounter

I have a serious scotch habit. It was my buddy Derrick's 30th birthday and I told him to come over and have a glass of scotch. As I was pulling out the different options I said to myself "now that is like Christmas, I should take some pictures". So I put up a black backdrop and pulled out (5) 100+ lumin white flashlights. I said to my wife, "hey do we have a sheet of glass" and she had one from a picture frame.

So, I elevated the glass with (4) water glasses, put the flashlights in rox glasses just below the bottles pointing directly up at the bottles and glass. I set up my tri-pod and used my 70-200mm lens to give me just a hint more depth of field compared to my 24-70mm at f/2.8 (yes I realize I could have just shot with the 24-70mm more stopped down).

I really like how the bottles are in focus in the left shot with the glass just waiting and how the glass, scotch and cap (off of the 21yr) are the focus in the right shot!

What If? - We have many questions before we take the next step in future. But only if you take the steps, it will take you to new heights.

How is it that Mos Def and KRS-One can bust into Jamaican Rastafarian voice whenever they want, but whenever I talk like this at the supermarket or the bank, everyone just gets quiet and looks at the floor?

I saw this kid running around aiming his toy gun at everyone

and everything including the clouds in the sky.

I held the camera to my face for a few seconds

following his every move.

Then he turned around and aimed his toy gun

at his Father just like this,

and I knew this was the

"decisive moment".

By the time I pulled the camera away from my face

to chimp the shot

he was off and running

and pointing it at other things

all the while

saying

"pow pow pow".
