Little Butterfly

Little Butterfly

Good morning all,  I came home yesterday to a broken computer, my Macbook Pro will not start up at all??  I was on line all night trying every known trick in the book to re-start this thing like removing the battery and pressing the power button for 10 seconds then putting the battery back in but nothing seems to be working?  So I will have to find out if there are any Mac experts here on the island today, the good news is I have 95% of everything backed up on a portable hard drive, I see now why that’s so important!  I use the Mac for downloading any and all new photos as our old Dell just won’t recognize any kind of new USB related connections so be patient if you don’t hear from me in a few days, I will try to get this Mac repaired as fast as I can.
 
I have a very busy day ahead.  At 8:00 I am meeting with the owners of the new multi million dollar Hyatt Hotel that is going up at the entrance to Spanish Waters, they want to hire me to build a hiking trail in the desert behind the hotel for the guests.  Also Aimee and I need to go back to Pen Resort and measure from shore out into the ocean 40, 50 and 60 meters and place floating buoys for the new proposed breakwater project, that could be difficult depending on how rough the sea is to day. 
 
This was literally the last photo I shot with my D-300 before it decided it didn’t want to play anymore as well?  Geez what’s going on with all my electronics lately??  I took this just as the sun was coming up and just moments after a hard morning rain, this little butterfly was just hanging upside down waiting for the rain to stop.  There are times during the year when I have seen these little fragile butterflies flying in numbers across the ocean on their way to or coming back from Venezuela, that’s 30 plus miles, how do they ever make it??
 
That’s all for now, talk to you when I can, Barry
