No WordsThere are no words for how it feels
to dance in the kitchen at two in the morning,
with a body you've come to know so well
you could map a tangled trail through
it's freckles;
and though the window
beyond the crowded countertop
reveals distant, flickering lights,
you are still quite certain that you are
the only two people
in the world.

It is truly indescribable,
to lay awake in a cluttered room
as silence pours relentlessly from every
dust-laden crevice,
and feel a familiar warmth swallow you whole
until you are eternally lost
in its arms,
as if you'd sunk a straw into the sun
and claimed it as your own.

An orange sulfur butterfly, doing his proboscis thang.

I discovered today that my zoom lens has awesome focusing capabilities and is perfect for bug photography. So as long as I keep managing to get myself out of the house, expect butterflies in the future!

all constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!

Wow, I can't think of too many things to complain about! At first glance I like it a lot.

The colors are very nice...very simple and well-balanced. You've done a very good job of keeping the subject in sharp focus wile softly blurring the background. The lighting is a bit tough but you made the trailing edge of the flutterby's wings glow. Nice touch.

It doesn't hurt that my HS and college colors are green and gold!

The only thing that bothers me is the stray leaf at the bottom. I would even go so far as to take the entire bottom third off of the photo. Then take a bit off the top for balance. Quiet space is always nice but I'd take it out just to get rid of that leaf!

What do you think?
