Butterfly, seen through a car window...

So... I have been trying to get some kind of decent "in the wild" butterfly shot for ever so long. They are just too fast for me. Driving past a roadside floral display this morning, I spot this on the opposite side, through the passenger window. Flashing hazard lights and some quick snaps while sitting in the car. Not amazing, but tolerably in focus.

Impressive to do this from the car!! I'd not have guessed.

@teiko @taffy Thanks, all... it's a residential neighborhood, just to be clear. Just lower the window, rest your camera on your knee, exhale and shoot. :) Thanks for viewing.
