A 200mm f4 macro on the butterfly. Of course, I spray sugar water on the leaves first so they stay still harvesting the sugar.

Last night, I had some fine food at a city Japanese restaurant. I did meet a friend but my whole focus was enjoying the dishes off Ala Carte menu.

Thanks for a little break yesterday and today. I am exercising a lot more continuing the success of weight loss. Health is so important as I discovered its importance since last year.

Bee for Saturday Critter

 

A bee or wasp. I cannot tell exactly what it is either. I just like the green bokeh. 

It was a late night yesterday. My pal and myself went searching for the sweet spots taking the gorgeous surfer's paradise sunset. It was not a disappointing experience. Persian Dinner at the nearby location too.
