working joys

My tasks at work can be interesting. My assignment the other day was to "photograph the butterflies in the garden. They are in full force right now all over the planted teak boxes." So for a couple hours I spent my time in the sun following around many butterflies as they feasted on sweet nector. I was fascinated by how their proboscis uncurled itself, sucking in food, and then curled back up when done. These wonderful insects were not afraid of me and allowed me to get very close. The whole time I was praying for one to land on me; butterflies bring one good luck.

Nice shots but in the interest of proctecting the unadultered purity of my species i need to point out that those lovely "butterflies" you captured are nothing more than my lesser cousin:moths. There goes the neighborhood!
