A couple of months ago, I was looking for independent musicians who were willing to share their original music with me to create a few slideshows in return for letting them use some of my work or the finished slideshows for their uses. I eventually settled on two musicians, and I thought that Elizabeth Middleton’s music best fit and evoked the clean, uncluttered, and gentle atmosphere that I wanted to complement my work – and hopefully hers as well.
These are just a sample of some of the new butterfly images mixed in with some of the photos already online. And just to keep things fresh, and (hopefully) exciting, I’m presenting these high-quality butterfly photographs to you now in my very first serious attempt to make a slideshow. Critics, be gentle!

Right on Rich!
Once it started the slide show is great!
Love the beautiful butterflies
Monarchs and swallowtails and thistle ssssssuch wonderful color!
I am enchanted by both your photos and the music. What a beautiful audio and visual combination. Since I am no longer on Myspace, I am really glad to see these. I thought I had lost the ability to see them when I quit. They are lovely and I really look forward to more. You are an extremely talented photographer. (But I bet you already knew that.)
Beautiful photos and love the music. The slide show was amazing. Elizabeth Middleton and I were music majors together in college. Good choice! Thanks, as always, for sharing your talent and also for the helpful and interesting photo links. (I also dabble in photography.) Jane
Fantastic photographs and music!! What a talented nature photographer we have in Florida. Thanks for sharing your images! I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. Bravo!
Hey Rich, sorry I've been so quiet lately, it's been a chaotic month. As always though, very beautiful work. The music chosen was perfect.
On a different note I've nominated your blog for a reward. You can read what it's all about back on my blog here.
