I'm finding my way around my new G1 and hav bunches of other pics I need to 'process' in my folders still in RAW form. However, I took these for a friend in my garden and thought they turned out reasonably. No macro lens, all manual op--only a bit of cropping and a bit of leveling. First--a Stokesia with bee Diane

This is a 'verbena rigida'--tall woody stem, seeds easily and is a wonderful butterfly flower. Again, no macro lens, manual op, crop

Wow. Cool! You show me just how much I need a new one too! (Hmmm...wonder if I could sell my body....suppose not..) (",)

Marshmallowpie--neither of these smells much to people--but to butterflies--whoooEEE!!! JordyArt, if my getting a new one had been dependent on me selling my body--well LOL

WEll, I do like to work some of my photos I admit S. My interest in photography has never been for them to just be 'technically' correct, but to do more with them. Some are on one side of the fence, some others-'shrugs'.

Hmm I wonder what it's like being a butterfly.
