I took this one at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Cockrell Butterfly Center. It is one of my first pictures with the Sony DSC-S70, the digital camera that revived my interest in photography.

Quinlan and Erin take a break from the wedding rehearsal to enjoy the weather and step out of the limelight. Fortunately for me, they stepped in front of my lens. The Northeast Kingdom offered us all a very pleasant evening.
