The Very Fast White Butterfly, Closeup

Dilemma: these butterflies are VERY fast, and flit around so much they rarely land long enough to be photographed.

Dilemma 2: the wing tips are tattered and distracting.

Solution: Crop, and focus attention

@30pics4jackiesdiamond -- haha -- @Taffy and I have morphed into one identity :). Actually, it was Benno @bpfoto who gave cropping suggestions for this one.

@jyokota I'm soooooooooooooo sorry didn't mean to offend or be rude!! Hoped I'd corrected before you spotted, but you're as quick as a white flutter-by!
