The other day while out walking in the yard butterflies were flying around some of the flowers, went back into the house and got the camera--able to capture this Butterfly --I took several shots but this is the one most focused to me.

Just a little over an hour ago as some of my family were leaving my nephew said "A racoon just fell out of that tree'--the critter then went back up the tree--I went to get my camera in hopes of getting a picture---of the ones I took only two were decent..and here is one of them...... unwelcome-guest --there are actually two in the tree (but I could only see one of them good enough to get a shot--with camera).

Hope all are having a good afternoon..

MrQ suggested cropping the butterfly a little on the left--here is the Butterfly redo

BB - nice shot of the bandit lounging in the tree.



Pesky Bandits! So cute but they can cause problems.

Nice Butterfly capture!



Nice butterfly shot (I probably would have cropped it square, to get rid of the stuff on the left.)

Raccoon looks like it is all tuckered out.



I like the redo.



The redo on the butterfly is nice!

Also I've noticed that when I take butterfly shots I have to be quick and sneaky.

Do you have a stabilizer built into your camera? That seems to help.

Nice shots Sandy. Pesky or not, the raccoons are cute.



Amelia--my camera does have a stabilizer built in but I still get several out of focus/fuzzy--I do not have a steady hand..

Paul..racoons are cute (in a zoo or someplace other than around the house--and as you know--'coons can really do damage to a summer garden...
