Butterfly

I've been wanting to capture a butterfly for the longest time and was so excited to see this little fellow fluttering around my flowers yesterday. I know he's not the most colorful butterfly but he is a butterfly. :)

Thank you for your wonderful comments and favs. I appreciate every one of them and love your pictures, too.

Good for you! I caught a similar almost colorless butterfly last week and it made my day as if it had been an exotic species :) I like your framing very much.
