Butterflies in mating

Canon G5 with Canon +4 Macro

~

5:30pm, March 2004
Sydney, Australia

~~~

I was walking my dog up our hill when I saw this!

~

No CAMERA! Raced up the hill, grabbed G5 and +4 Canon Macro and ran back down hill praying they were still there and the waning light would still be strong enough... and they were!

THEN! The juice runs dry! Battery is dead! OMG! And I had only snapped 4 shots, silly me!

Run back up the hill, plug the Camera into the power supply and look at my shots, mostly crap! Give it 5 minutes to power up and run BACK down the hill!

And they are still there! (Notice the fantastic irony, the coupled butterflies engaging in the wonderous act of procreation vs the puffing mad photographer running the 100 yard dash back and forth and repeatedly snapping away in their faces.) So get some more shots but the light is almost gone and I've no tripod! ack!

Anyway this is the best of the bunch.
