Chasing Butterflies - And Spring by farmreporter

Chasing Butterflies - And Spring

Lisa @homeschoolmom challenged me to take some shots of spring which is a great challenge except that we are still in the depths of winter. There is no spring to be found here - even the pussywillows are still hiding!
So, I jumped at the opportunity to go to the Butterflies Go Free exhibit at the Montreal Botanical Gardens in order to complete this challenge.
I spent the majority of my time there trying to capture butterflies in flight. Not an easy task! They are so fast! But I did get a few shots of them in flight.
What a way to escape winter!
That had to be an invigorating experience! No doubt they were tough to capture! But it looks like you got this one! Well done!

@shesnapped Thank you, Ashley. It was fun! :) And, as a bonus, I get to do a collage of some of the ones that were sitting still for the March words as well.

Question: How do I tag the words from your April list?

Great shot. I love how the butterfly is perfectly poised in that spot in the frame. What a fun way to get to capture spring.

Beautiful shot, what a pretty colour the butterfly is. It looks a little like a heart shape to me.
