I can't help myself

When I see a butterfly, I have to chase it! :0)

[Angie Vega ☮♥ シ]

Nicely captured.

[Sheila]

Good job!

[K J Buehl]

Great shot! I love the butterfly posts!

[Sophie Holub]

I like the butterfly, and it was very well focused with a nice blur in the background. Wonderful! :D

[Kimmi]

One of my favorite butterflies

[Kathryn Marshall]

Beautiful shot of the butterfly

[Karen Richardson]

Lovely with different colors and textures

[Elyse Klemchuk]

Oh, look at that! How lacy its wings look!

[Joel Malley]

That really is a beautiful capture. Love the contrast between the grass and dandelion.

[richard saffold]

and you always capture them for us.

[Terry H]

I am the same way. They are such beautiful things. Love this pic!

[Zoe Ferrie]

Absolutely and gorgeous, worth chasing!

[karenann]

How beautiful this is . . love the color of that butterfly. I would chase them too, if they ever come around. Too cold yet. :)

[BeckyS]

Beautiful.

[Rick Schies]

they probably think too, oh no, never a moment of peaceful nectar licking...

[Kaz]

Butterfly: "OMG here comes the camera lady again!!! Quick, wings up? Check. Antennae poised sexily? Check. Insectoid feet positioned seductively? Check. Few! I'm ready for my close-up" :-)

[❀ Lynn]

nice shot, as always. And dandelions! We had snow again today after a 50F day yesterday and more like that coming up. Carolyn do you have any kind of a macro lens? Or are you supremely patient?

[Carolyn White]

@lynnb Thank you, Lynn! I'm extremely patient or maybe a little obsessed. LOL! I don't have a macro lens yet. I have a birthday in a few days and I've got my fingers crossed. I shot this with my kit lens and I was on the ground. :0)

[Susan T]

Beautiful shot, Carolyn! I find myself envious that you have dandelions! What's that all about?! Guess i really am ready for spring! :o)

[Trina P Holub]

Butterfly! That's a new thing for you, right? ;-)

[Carolyn White]

@5unflow3r LOL! :0)

[Sharon Lee]

Butterflies are great subjects, can ever have too many shots of them

[Jo Ann Bellone]

beautiful

[Claire]

Beautiful details on his surrounding, very pretty

[Dione Giorgio]

Those cabbage butterflies are so difficult to capture. Beautiful shot. I've been trying for one like this without success till now.

[cglist]

A little beauty!

[Anita Hoyle]

Another lovely shot!

[quin]

this brings a massive smile to my face... mmmmmmm warmth

[carol white]

A lovely capture!!

[Dawn Wilson]

Great close .. Missed these too!

[Shirley Banford]

Very nice capture! Don't hurt yourself. Some people do, you know. One minute you're running to get the shot and the next you're on the ground wondering what happened!

[Terry]

You know that you really not chasing it, it is playing with you.

[Paul Myers]

Me too. I've seen them out this week for the first time, but haven't been able to catch up to any of them yet. Nice shot.

[ari fink]

have to chase, too ;)
