July 4th, 2009

First up, Happy Fourth to every and Happy Birthday to this great land of ours!!

As a photographer, you sometimes wear many hats . . . in this case, my photographer's assistant - my daughter Peyton - wore the hat of a butterfly rescuer. This little guy just couldn't seem to get off the ground. We actually spotted him as we were loading up our gear in the car. He was in the middle of this stony patch right next to the road! I told Peyton we had to move him and while she loves butterflies, let's face it, they are still bugs . . . she was a trooper, though . . . letting the butterfly crawl up into her hand and we walked it over to a bush, where Peyton placed it on a leaf. Brave little photographer's assistant, eh?

Shot with the Sigma 70-300mm Macro at 250th of a second with an f-stop of 5.6. ISO is 100.
