Pretty....
85mm f/1.8 --- Nice lens, and a dandy focal length...

I have kind of a nature project happening. Found this guy on the carrot leaves and identified it as a future Black Swallowtail butterfly. After a little google research we saved it from any harm and imprisoned it in a jar stuffed with carrot leaves.



About a week later it attached itself for it's transformation into a chrysalis. You can see the silk threads.



It should remain in this state for about two weeks before emerging as a butterfly.



Kind of hard to fly off as a butterfly from a mason jar so after about 10 - 11 days it got moved outside to hopefully a safe place.



Set up the GoPro on time lapse of 60 seconds and hopefully will see the results. Had to butcher the case to allow for USB power but with the 64GB card and wifi tethering it will run without interference. I do check daily and delete the files if nothing happened.

Thats cool. We did the same a few years ago. We came home one evening and the butterfly was in the process of stretching its wings.

Charmayne rode my horse Lou in the barrel racing event at the local Fox Hollow Rodeo this evening. Sadly Lou had some problems near the bucking chutes and threw Charmayne but she climbed back on and finished the pattern for no score.

This is a picture of her during warm up but the actual competition pictures didn't turn out because it was after dark and I don't think I set the auto-focus settings right for moving shots.
