Sun bathing

Not the prettiest of butterflies but it was the first one I've seen this year sunning himself on a nettle leaf.

Excellent shot. I never have much luck photographing butterflies, you have done so well to capture him with his wings open.

You caught him so well - and I love all the shadows on the leaf.

Still lovely and a beautiful capture.

A lovely detailed close-up. Buterflies can be quite a challenge to photograph - fav!

@onewing @milaniet @koalagardens @cocobella @sangwann @fishers @bruni Thanks all, I like to see the first bee or butterfly of the year. I heard the first swift yesterday which made me happy.
