Well, some of you may know that today, a few of us went to the KL Butterfly Farm for a macro outing. The day started on the wrong note though as I thought entrance was RM4 but it was RM9 (inclusive of camera charge). Aduh! But never mind, we can afford Then, no tripod allowed! There goes my hope of good shots with the MSN202.

So, with my lil trusty Canon Powershot G9, I set about my task and these are the results. Hope you enjoy them and do a drop a comment or two Constructive criticism is all part of the learning process so don't be shy

1. Before entering the Park, I took a few shot outside of some bees? flies? having their morning breakfast


2. Munch, munch, munch


3. Rubbing hands? with glee before diving in to food!


4. We got in, and the insects were still having breakfast!


5. Interrupting a breakfast session


6. A transformation?


7. On top of the world?


8. May ye rest in peace


9. Where there is life, there is also death


10. Who turned on the spotlights?
