Tough to shoot...

... when it won't stay off you and your camera! Katy was trying to get some shots of this butterfly as it joined us at our table at the wedding reception. She did get some great shots, but I enjoyed taking these shots of it playing with her.

What a beautiful butterfly! I'm going to google PNW butterflies to see if I can identify it. So many spots :D
