The Butterfly

The Butterfly - A person might believe that the yellow butterfly I saw flitting around those red flowers was the same yellow butterfly that called on those flowers yesterday. Maybe so. Maybe no. But this time I was waiting for the butterfly. When it landed on the flower plant, I was ready with the old Canon camera. "Click-o" And there I had that butterfly's portrait inside the Canon box. But when I put the picture through its paces and saw the result on the screen, that yellow butterfly had almost disappeared in the mass of yellow-green leaves of the flowering plant. Fortunately, the photo editor computer program made it possible to outline just the butterfly and to brighten its coloring enough to make it visible again. Maybe I should alert the nation's spy organizations to this "I-spy" method. It probably costs far less to bring things out from obscurity and into plain sight than do some others of their usual methods. Both butterflies and computer programs surely are fun to have around, aren't they? Image - Unmasked Butterfly - Gus Kilthau
