The first Butterfly

for me. I so seldom see them that I was rather surprised. I did notice that a little piece of it's wing is missing.

Beautiful capture :-)

How did you manage to get it to sit still for you. I battle so with butterflies flitting quickly from plant to plant, so haven't yet managed to shoot one

[Helen Sanderson]

such fragility...most butterflies I see have some evidence of damage. Such a great image

[Merrelyn]

A lovely capture Diana :)

[Lou Ann]

He’s a beauty!!

[Kahsia]

Nice capture.

[Henri Russell]

Really pretty. It's nice that he posed for you. We don't have many butterflies in our area, except when the monarches migrate through.

[Sylvia Binch]

Lovely shot, well captured.
