Congratulations on the purchase of your camera Melanie! I am the same about point and shoot, I am so bad I can't even remember the regular settings a lot of the time, but I do manage to get some decent pictures.
I wish we had all the lovely variety of butterflies that you have in Florida, those Peacoks, Julias, Zebras, Malachites and Atalas are to dye for.
I think that those do live in south Texas, but not here our winters are too cold for them, I guess.
Thank you for showing them to us, they are all beautiful.
