A butterfly hanging around
"This magnificent butterfly finds a little heap of dirt and sits still on it; but man will never on his heap of mud keep still." - Joseph Conrad
A butterfly as delicate as the vines of green it clings to. The shot was tricky as the plant provided large amounts of shade and shooting with a flash was not an option. Looking back I should have chanced the butterfly waiting and setup the tripod.

Now is that the partical board '70s wood paneling or real wood paneling? Not that I'm a big fan of either, but the latter is much prettier than the other. :)
The butterfly is beutiful! MSM!

Good luck! It sounds like there will be a lot of noise and damage.

That actually sounds fun! Nothing like a group home improvement/destruction project to get the juices flowing! Hope it goes well.
Gorgeous photo, by the way! Michele sent me!
