49. PHOTOGRPAHY OF BUTTERFLY TIPS. Use a tripod for perching butterfly photos

PHOTOGRAPHY OF BUTTERFLY TIPS.

8 Aug 2023. A small-sized butterfly was perched on a plant. I set up the tripod and waited. The butterfly posed for several seconds. I took numerous shots and got one good one.

The tripod is important. I was lucky in that the butterfly had perched onto the plant for some time and I got one good photography out of more than 15, using TV. Buses and vehicles passing by Yio Chu Kang Road did not frighten this Nacaduba berenice (Rounded Six-Line Blue) from staying and licking some salts from the leaf surface.

The butterfly is usually seen sipping nectar from flowers. This is evidence to show that it also needs to lick "salts" for good health. Salts like calcium, potassium and sodium are obtained from the environment or soil in the case of butterflies. We rarely see them using the proboscis to sip "salts".

51. PHOTOGRAPHY. TRAVELS USA. The Ah Ha Moment. Breaking into a tour coach after midnight in the USA.

TRAVEL STORY - The 'Ah Ha' Moment.  by Dr Sing Kong Yuen. 23 October 2013.  New Jersey, USA. My tour group from Singapore saw a police car when we went to the our coach after breakfast. The coach had been broken into overnight. How did the burglar do it?   The thief stole food, drinks and the driver's sunglasses, but not the camera. The police concluded that he could be a 'hungry homeless man' who had duplicate keys or picked the lock to open the coach door.  A sunny morning.  The ladies looked forward to spending a day at the Factory Outlet. As the coach turned the bend of the road, the rectangular safety vent of the coach lifted up and disappeared, leaving a big gap on the roof of the coach. The was the 'Ah Ha' moment. The 'Ah Ha' moment is a moment of sudden realization, inspiration, insight, recognition, or comprehension . The thief had broken into the coach via the safety vent!  With the fresh air swirling into the coach's roof top vent,...

55. Character description. "Autopsy" by Patricia Cornwall

 In his sixties, his first name is Wyatt but I don't know his last.  He looks like a sheriff in his khaki uniform with brown pocket flaps, walking up the concrete ramp leading inside the morgue, pressing a button on the cinder block wall. The massive door begins rolling down in the swirling exhaust of the hearse driving out, probably the suicide from Fairfax County, based on bodies scheduled for release. ------------------------- "He needs you to meet him somewhere." My secretary acts as if I answer to her instead of the other way around.  Dressed in her typical couture of a tweedy skirt suit and loafers, her steely gray hair styled like the 1950s, Maggie Cutbush eyes me disapprovingly over the wire-rim glasses perched on the tip of her sharp nose.      "He needs to meet me for what reason---"  I start to say.      "He'll explain," she interrupts.
