Stunned Beauty

We had a strong storm come through last night. It had straight-line winds that did a lot of damage in our area. This morning when I was taking pics of the damage, I saw this Wood Nymph in the grass. I think it may have been a little stunned from the storm. I snapped several shots and then I gently touched it and it flew away.

I have a storm collage that I will post in my other album.

Thanks to everyone that commented and faved my Naptime pic! :0)
Beautiful. I love the water droplets on the grass and how clear the butterfly's wings are.

Sensational photo Carolyn - you've been a brave soul going out and about so early but I guess you were keen to check for wind damage. Great detail on the wings.
