butterflies in the afternoon sun

Posted by Kylie Greenan (Hunters Hill, Australia) on 30 August 2008 in Art & Design.

Local Windsor Markets.

Yesterday's "suspended wings" were similar to today.. they are sun catchers and you place them in your window and the sun catches and reflects the pretty light. Similarly, these butterflies stick onto your window with a suction button and also catch and reflect the light.

Thank you for all your wonderful comments yesterday, I am always so touched and humbled to read them, I don't get much of a chance to reply as I would much prefer to be checking out your wonderful images.

Lovely muted tones in this photo, Kylie ... the local markets have proven to be a wealth of subject matter for you ... hope your weekend is off to a good start ... here in the States it's a holiday weekend (Labor Day) so it's a three-day weekend!!

We have a large dragon fly in our bedroom window. Coloured light waking you up is perfect.

My wife likes these type of things..... The colors have been caught very well. Now show me some color filters :)

I like the idea and good clear photo... I wonder what effect a darker background might have given.
