Windy day

This Painted Lady kept trying to show me her beautiful wings but the wind kept closing them. Then I saw the underneath side was also very pretty and took the shot

[karenann]

He is beautiful inside and out!!

[Laurie Higgins]

Well that sure is gorgeous! I love those false eyes, and your focus is perfect, Terry! The yellow flowers are so sunshiny cheerful. This one is a fave for me.

[Robin]

Really beautiful capture, Terry. Fav. for me, too; especially as we don't see lots of butterflies from you. Very nicely done.

[Mary]

Isn't that pretty! We don't have too many butterflies in our area.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

@karenann @kerristephens @summerfield @cjwhite @digitalrn @http365proj @buttercup @girlie @lauriehiggins I found out that this shot was a Painted Lady Butterfly not a Monarch.

[Paul Myers]

Great colors in this Terry. Have to fave this one.

[Terry]

@lauriehiggins I was in Sara's classroom today and the kids were quick to show me your letter and where you were from on the map, they got such a kick out of knowing something that I didn't.

[Terry]

@webfoot Thanks Paul, It was a chase and 30 pictures to get just this one good one. I wonder what people think of us when they see us running around like this. LOL

Gorgeous capture! Did you stalk this butterfly awhile or just get lucky? I can never get to them in time!

[janet gregory]

Awesome Terry!! fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@sarasdadandmom Well, I didn't know the name off the top of my head, but I did know it wasn't a Monarch or a Viceroy- they're both orange with black ribbing.

[Terry]

@deniseinindy I ran around like a crazy man until it felt sorry for me.

[Terry]

Oh my.....I just love the cheery colors. This is so fabulous and a big fav for me, too.

[Tracy Robbins]

Beautiful colour and detail.

[pulguis]

Beautiful shot Terry!!! It makes me think that when it comes to humans, we should also look for the "other side" ....sometimes we see only what we like or even worse ...what we do not like in them!!

[Beverly Carmichael]

You bet!
