Fading Away

I like this guy. I wonder what a butterfly sees when he looks at me. Do I have eight heads? I spent some quality time with him yesterday. I got some shots that were a lot better than this - but I'm sharing this one. Just look as his fur. I find out so many things with a macro lens. That is all I took yesterday. Me, the new camera body (Canon 60D) and the macro lens. So I had to talk them into letting me get close enough to take the shot. Did you know they had fur?

Thanks for all of the words of encouragement and faves on yesterday's butterfly. I appreciate them more than you know.

Stunning macro. Well done.

@timandelke I am liking it - but it is a learning curve. I knew my old one and where the buttons were. Even the on/off switch is on the opposite side. I'll get there and this will serve me better.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

What a fabulous shot! I love the fact that you were privileged enough to be allowed so close without it flying away.

[Kathryn]

oh wow
great now I'm freaked out by butterflies ;-)

[Humphrey Hippo]

So impressive!
