Know what Mike, I never felt so priviledged to be surrounded by beautiful objects until photography came into my life. Triffic, innit? PAUL

Yes Raveen, he is a fine fellow. Pity they are so delicate and fleeting. Still his picture will last. Thank you for your kind words. PAUL

This is lovely Paul. The colours on the butterfly are gorgeous and I love the way you captured the lovely textures in the rocks. Very nice photograph Paul.

Dave.
