A Pop of Color! by cjwhite

A Pop of Color!

This Buckeye was closed, when I got it in focus. Just as I snapped the pic, it opened. The pop of color startled me, but in a good way. :0)

I am taking pics of other things, but the butterflies just seem to turn out a little better. I saw a deer today, but I just wasn't quick enough to get a pic. I did get a hummingbird pic, but the lighting wasn't good. It rained around lunch time and it was cloudy all afternoon.

Thank you as always for looking at my pics and commenting! :0)
Awesome catch on the detail!

@tabbycat @elzibell LOL! I'm finding them in my neighbor's field. We've had lots of rain lately and there are lots of wildflowers. I hope he doesn't decide to plow it . :0)

Really excellent! Butterflies are so difficult to get in focus as they move off so quickly. This is perfect!

Are those spots supposed to look like eyes to scare off predators? Great shot.
