TGIF--The 18 day of the second month of Emergence

Remember, if you double click on the images on this blog you will get to a full screen of the photo.

Now!

If you take a lot of pictures, I suggest that you record what you saw the same day that you made the image.

I just spent the morning going through all my images of butterflies.  One web site had 54 pages of pictures and names with sixty images per page.  That's, lets see, 54 times sixty, carry the one, divide by 12, push the three, subtract 42----and you begin to get the idea that I had no idea how many of these darn things there are.


You do the math!

I did get most of them named or as close as I can tell because so many of them look alike, except for an under wing or something I didn't notice before that made it something else.

So much easier to just take the photos, but then somebody actually wants to buy something that you think you might have.  Then you go to the files and are simply bewildered!  I am warning you right now.  There is going to be a major re-organization of the files coming.  That means you are going to simply have to put up with my whining!  For a long time!

A Gulf Fritillary..............I think!


At least it's a flight shot!

The eleventh day of the second month of the year of Emergence

Hard to tell that spring is on it's way in any part of the country.  Even here, it's twenty eight degrees this morning..............brrrrrrrrrrr!  But these guys seem to know something.  Couple of flocks migrating through.

The 10th day of the second month of the year of Emergence

I just filled an inquiry from a publisher looking for butterflies of all things.  Glad I had a few but don't know if he will buy any at this point.  Did not snow here last night and warming up nicely.  Still tied behind the desk but sold two major pieces yesterday up in Maryland.  Life's good.  Just a lovable old fuzzball looking for victims.  Have a great day!


Remember, you can double click on these for full screen.  Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooo!







These are  only four of the couple of dozen I sent out.  Most are vertical....Why?  Because he is looking for magazine covers as well, and covers pay more....both back and front.  So if you are in the biz or thinking about it............always, always make vertical shots as best you can for each and every horizontal you take.
