I'm still in a learning process to use my speedlight, and there is no human model available to shoot at the time. So, I try this simple shot on a playcard ~ Royal Flush.

A straight flush is a hand that contains five cards in sequence, all of the same suit, such as Q♣ J♣ 10♣ 9♣ 8♣. An ace-high straight flush such as A♠ K♠ Q♠ J♠ 10♠ is known as a royal flush, and is the highest ranking standard poker hand. Oh! I'm seriously addicted to zynga poker game...

There is only a little ruby or red color on Rajah Brooke's body and it is a red hollow triangular mark on its neck. Whereas, the wood where it landed indeed suitable for this Ruby Tuesday..lol.

Rajah Brooke’s Birdwing (Troides brookiana albescens) can rival the most beautiful species from other parts of the world, some says it's a King of Butterflies. This birdwing was discovered by famous British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace during one of his expeditions to Borneo in 1855. He named it in honor of his friend Sir James Brooke, the Rajah of Sarawak.

Rajah Brooke is so easy to recognize. All the wings on the upperside were of a uniform jet-black color. On each forewing, with a wingspan about 15-17cm, which was extremely long than wide, there were altogether seven luminous green triangles, each with a faint black line bisecting it horizontally. Of the seven, the two triangles nearest the dorsum, or the horizontal part of the forewing, were joined. On each of the very much smaller hindwings the green pattern became a broad band near the wing bases, broken up only by the black veins that radiated from the wing cell.

This is the condition of my PC's CPU right now. My red toolbox must be there when I'm repairing my CPU. My broken hard disk is still on top of the casing with a red SATA cable connecting it to a mainboard , all of the useful data have successfully recovered and transferred to my external hard drive (a bulky silver box sit next to it). I will do a proper installation after everything is working smoothly.

Every morning, I must have a caffeine related drink. But, I'm too lazy to make a cup of coffee in a traditional ways. You know, get a coffee blend, pour some water, adding some sugar & milk and so on. A premix coffee a.k.a instant coffee always be my best choice. Here is a shot of my favorite tumbler.
