This is the first butterfly of the season I was able to get close enough to photograph with a macro lens. It was sheltering itself from the wind in the black bamboo, but the bamboo was still getting whipped around by the wind. I bumped the ISO up to 1600 so I could have a 1/200 shutter speed at ƒ/11. I used 4 focal points hand held for today’s photo.

Tristan prepared Nigerian dishes for lunch and our friend from Nigeria, who is a visiting math student, came over and ate it with us. He had given us some ideas of food to prepare last week. He told Tristan that it came out very much like it is in his country.  We asked him for suggestions for Nigerian dishes and if he would be willing to try them if we made them. Both he and Tristan were up for the challenge.
