[Leica] IMG: Two More Butterflies

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Thanks for the kind words, Ted.  I enjoy the post-processing work, so 
the snaps are just the raw material to set the mill in motion.

My plants are also in "uncontrolled growth" mode, and I just don't have 
the energy to do much about it.  My smart wife always told me that I 
planted for quick success, without thinking of the long-term 
consequences.  As usual, she proved to be right. :-)
