The wonder of releasing a new butterfly never grows old.

Butterflies
We have discovered a few butterflies in our backyard. They are so much fun to watch flittering about!
Experimenting
Mark and I have been experimenting with catching bees flying around flowers. We tease we need a “trained bee” that is taught to fly to a flower, pretend to collect pollen and then fly off before returning to the same flower.
We have learned a few lessons to make the pictures work. I sat near this flower for about a half hour while the kids played watching a multitude of insects do their jobs. Observing them taught me a lot! Hopefully, we can get out again so Mark has the chance to try another picture this year.
Falling Leaf
While at the mill the other day, we decided to experiment with new picture ideas. I loved how the water was reflecting, so I asked Andrea to drop leaves into the water while I tried to photograph them as they fell.
Cousins
On Easter, I tried taking a current picture of all the cousins. It is difficult to get eight children all to look nice at the same time 🙂
I tried again on Monday. Monday’s is better, but I cheated. I used a composite of all the pictures that I had and edited them. I need more practice on composites, but I am happy with my first try.
Adrian’s Birthday
It is so hard to believe that Adrian is 4 already! Maybe you are saying, “Wow, I can’t believe that!” Well, he is. Last year he turned 6 years old. On his half birthday he turned 3. Since his birthday was yesterday, he is a year older. You know that 3+1 = 4. Yesterday was his birthday and he turned 4.
If you happen to see Adrian, don’t forget to wish him a happy birthday! Remember, your 4th birthday only comes once 🙂 .
