This butterfly found me! by cjwhite

This butterfly found me!

This Tawny Emperor landed on my wrist and stayed there! My camera was in my bag. I got it out, turned it on, focused, and shot this pic left-handed. ( I'm a rightie.) I was able to move around and get a decent background. Too bad I couldn't smoothe out my wrist. LOL! :0)

This one is for tabitha@tabbycat and richard@chard. They have been kidding me about being a bug and butterfly whisperer. LOL!!! I am just lucky sometimes! :0)

Thank you so very much for your wonderful comments on my pics! They always make me smile! :0)
Great catch! Literally, lol.

Fabulous Carolyn - you'll be able to get a job in a circus now with all that agile twisting! What a friendly little butterfly - great photo even without knowing the physical challenges you went through, to capture him.
