my first butterfly

[emmerick]

went to bond with my youngest son on his 6th birthday,but instead of me going horse back riding with him, i went out to shoot and let him and her sister ride..this is what i got, my first butterfly.


weather was cold and balmy that's why they are a bit slow fluttering about, got the chance to sit and talk over a cup of coffee..


...a bit up close though not too personal

these shot put a smile on my face and..


..the ride put a smile on their faces and almost a hole in my pocket..
thank you for celebrating my son's big day with me

I love the 2nd one, Erick, that is a great pose and beautiful colours.

Erick, I also am partial to #2, almost like he/she was just waiting for it's pic to be taken
By the look on your sons face he is very happy with his ride

[Downrigger]

Very nice. I think the third is just great. That's a great looking boy, too.

[Paniaa]

Beautiful butterfly shots. However, the boy (isn't he lovely) is 6 only once.

thank you, Greg, Rita, Mark and Pania, that butterfly cooperated and posed for the shots..oh sure he is a happy boy, a bit scared on his first ride, but overcome it and had a blast..

thanks Isabel..i guess it is worth it, never mind the hole in the pocket will sure work on Monday, after
a very long week end, ( Lenten Season, vacation started Wednesday noon..) not that the country needs my meager contribution, but need to work for a new lens
