Chasing Butterflies

These guys definitely do not rest on one flower very long when there is a whole field to cover!
So, there I was out there chasing butterflies as they flit from thistle to thistle. I did get some fairly stationary and clear shots, but I preferred this one because it seems to have a sense of motion that was there.

You are so good! Amazing clarity with the movement!

Well done on getting the butterfly in focus! Not easy to do at all

Very pretty :)

I hear you... they move too fast! I spent hours traipsing around after them and taking too many shots... I like how you captured this one.

I agree with you on this. However good a macro shot I might get, it always seems to be the out-of-focus butterfly flapping away in the foliage that I like the best . I can see why you love this one ... I do, too.
