Nice shot

[Linda Sanderson]

I'm giving this a fav status partly because you must have worked a miracle to get sunshine today, but because it's a lovely shot too! All I saw was rain....rain... rain, and then on my drive home it stopped raining... right up to the point where I arrived at my planned photo destination and then the sky opened up once more :\

Beautiful close up shot. I'm still trying to find a butterfly to capture.

[Merrelyn]

@ellendell71 Thanks Linda, it only lasted for about 5 minutes, long to see the butterflies, go inside, grab my camera and get a couple of shots off. I'm really looking forward to some blue skies :)

[Merrelyn]

@jodies Thanks Jodie, they seem to like the lavender and sit there for a bit longer :)

Nicely sharp on the antenna and the nearest wing, but sadly not sharp on the furthest wing. It is hard to get it all right before they fly off, so a really good try! The background has a superbly soft DOF!
