Pausing between shots and just reveling at the magic of butterflies. You can see some butterflies at lower left, just past my lens. I took up the challenge to provide the photographs for my book THE ART OF BUTTERFLY GARDENING myself. It was very hard work in the heat and I couldn’t keep up with all the excitement of each shot. But I did it. 
My new books are due out together in April. This was a real neat job to do, especially the photography of the butterflies which I really enjoyed. I hope they have success out there in the wild world of publishing. 
My book THE ART OF BUTTERFLY GARDENING will be out in the spring from Skyhorse Publishing. The second shot is more like an old-fashioned photo, a throwback to the old days of butterfly gardening in England. The third was just for fun. How do you make a self-portrait interesting?
This really was fun. They are so beautiful, and quiet. Here I am in action with my macro lens. In the first photo, the butterflies are at the right, on the flowers. 
David (signing the book) with his publisher Gordon Goff at a book party in Santa Monica last night. A few celebrities were there, but this was the main show.
And finally, one with Dave and me, and the book.
My book looks good with the Marley Coffee. You can use the recipes in my book when you make your coffee. Jah mon.
