just flapped them and went from flower to flower. As I was driving up to a winery, I just spotted these flowers full of small red butterflies. I pulled up to get a close look and take some shots. Well, it must have been around fifty! They were just flitting back and forth, opened their wings for a second. I could not focus that fast. I have many shots, all with their wings up. The prettiest butterfly I have ever seen here.
I don't think every butterfly shot has to have the wings open. I really like the way the light is coming through the upper portion of the wings here. It's a great shot!
This is a spectacular photo of the flower and the butterfly. I feel your frustration as I have often tried to get the same type of shot with the same kind of results. It seems they don’t want you to see them with their wings open!
