What a Bonus!

I was photographing bluebells when this beautiful male orange tip landed on one of the flowers. Orange tips rarely settle and when they do it's not for long and I don't usually manage to focus the camera before they take off again. Today I got lucky. It was definitely the photo of the day.

Wonderful capture. Sometimes the photography gods give you a gift like this. Other times it seems that they are out to thwart our best efforts.

Orange tips use to land on the cuckoo flowers in our garden. Haven't seen them this year.
