Silhouette

Today's butterfly was one of those easy to make but really hard to photograph butterflies.   I punched holes in black paper of a butterfly silhouette.  Then... Amy held the paper, Mark held the  flashlight and I tried to take a picture of the light coming out of the holes.    Funny thing happened though, the light coming through the paper was not as strong as the reflection of the paper in my granite countertop -- go figure.  So I attempted to photograph the reflection on a "Candlelight" setting on my camera. 

If you zoom in on the picture you may be able to see some of both butterflies.

Well everyone was sick except for Megan (that included me!).  I've decided to send some of these babies in their lunches for the next few weeks!!

Glasses, Lots of Glasses

Sorry for the delay in posting. I had 3 kids and 1 husband sick within a period of three days. It was a little crazy here.

Today's butterfly is a collection of glasses on top of a glass picnic table. I took the picture from underneath the table. Unfortunately, I had to take the picture sideways to get it all to fit.

Who wants to play ball?

Another great day in NJ. Cleaning out the toys in the garage and I found a nice collection of balls to make my butterfly.

Tomorrow is Evan's First Communion. I'm not sure I'll get a butterfly done but I'll try!

Chalky

The hardest part if this butterfly was finding something to stand on to take the photo!

Safety Fly

I've been saving this one for a few weeks now. I have a huge collection of safety pins - let me know if you ever need one. It must be my girl scout training to purchase oversized boxes of safety pins and matches!!
