The Long Waiting Game

I waited and waited until my patience is wearing thin. Three days ago, a beautiful butterfly had a surprise visit at the garden and I took my digital camera so that I can shoot the butterfly for my collection of  butterfly and insects. However, when I had the zoom lens ready and about to click the button of my camera, the butterfly flew right away. I waited for the butterfly to standby on its place right there where the berry plants but the butterfly keeps on moving from one berry to another. I aimed my camera anyway and wait for the right time for the butterfly to sip nectar from the berry flowers, so many flowers there in just one branch. The butterfly seemed unsteady and reluctant and most of the time choosy and picky. It was not an ordinary butterfly, it was absolutely charming, radiant colorful butterfly. It flew away out of my sight before I was able to press the button of my camera.

Darn! I hate it when I missed the opportunity to shoot such a lovely creature with wings. I had few shots (images) of different butterflies before but that colorful species of butterfly is quite extraordinary. Curious about other butterflies in my collection? The rest are bees, dragonflies, etc.

 

 

Everyday, I go out there at the backyard, not worrying whether that garden snake (non-venomous snake) common in the gardens in the forest, woods and yards everywhere,  is at the doorstep of our house or Freddy (Fred the cat) is waiting outside to get petted by my husband or petted by my son.

Instead, a bug beetle was stuck inside the container filled of water for Freddy, yup the beetle got drowned in a container of water outside the yard.

I waited once again for the beautiful butterfly to visit our garden while being cautious that the garden snake will come back and I have my long metal stick with me, holding it so tight ready to hit the snake once it appears at the yard.

Where are you butterfly? Tired of waiting...

 

I can draw! I can paint. So that's the butterfly I was waiting for. That's the kind of butterfly I saw days ago. It's okay, one day that butterfly will visit the garden and I will snap it with my digital camera.

Now what? Waiting to see Taj Mahal? Just let your highly talented mural painter paint it on your tallest building and stand by at the front of the mural and pretend you are in Taj Mahal, India. You can also paint the Great Wall on a huge wall of the building and pretend you are in China.

People wait to be side by side with "great people" so they had 3D images of  Pope John Paul, Presidents and great political leaders, celebrities and you can't be side by side with these "greatness" for real so try the 3D images and pretend that you are siding with them. You know some great people never die because they end up cheese! Cheese & cheesy. j/k
