~ Walking along the sandy riverbank, camera and lens in hand, I passed under the Tana River Adamson's Falls Bridge. Moist depressions where puddles might form during rain were brightened by a few butterflies. They were typical safari butterflies — Catopsilia florella, African Migrant and Belenois aurota, Pioneer White — which made them seem like long-lost old friends. I fooled around seeking the ideal shooting angle as they obligingly remained in place, sipping moisture through their unfurled tongues.
