After an enjoyable meal of Bak Kut Teh in Singapore, we walked down the road to sample the last durians of the season.

PLEASE look at the original size!

I was taking a biker and had Sam's 70-300mm with me to try and get some bird shots - when I got home and looked at what I had TRIED to take, they were awful - had a rabbit about 6 feet from me and had taken about 10 shots and they were ALL blurry - was SOOOO pleased that these two butterfly shots "worked" - no PS needed! Yahoo!

There was one deer in the woods next to the trail and by the time I reacted, it had run off - maybe next time . . .

02 Sample

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

sampled some new fold and pleat textures for linen

Now that my "blanket" is finished I need to make a decision on whether or not to make another one or move on to a different kind of project.

In the meantime I made a little sample with the same thread with which it all began in September last year.
