Bright Elusive Butterfly

Across my dreams with nets of wonder,
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.

Spent the day with @Weezilou Ken and Louise. The San Diego Butterfly Jungle is only open for a few weeks so we took the opportunity to try to catch the bright elusive butterfly of 365.

(What the heck happened to the Song Title challenge anyway?)

Wonderful clarity and colours all beautifully capture and presented Ron the song is now whizzing around in my head:)

[Denise Wood]

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you....:) Love the photo & the title :) fav

[Lou Ann]

So beautiful! I know you had a wonderful day with Louise and Ken!

[Taffy]

Such a cheerful springlike scene -- great details on the butterfly.

[Louise & Ken]

Oh Ron, this is simply beautiful!!! I need a class in using aperture! 90% of my settings were wrong : ( THIS is what I was hoping for! So happy for you that you got it!!! Must dash back and try again!

[Joanna kate]

Beautiful butterfly, the flowers stand out so well, fav

[Diane]

[PhotoCrazy]

Beautifully captured!!

[Ron]

@skippysue Thanks so much Susan. I really appreciate the words and the fav!

[Ron]

@onewing Thank you m'lady. I've never seen one with such markings either. Glad to have been able to capture it.

[Ron]

@pamknowler Sorry to stick that song in your brain Pam. Please accept my apologies - and please accept my appreciation for the fav.

[Ron]

@pcoulson Thank you for those kind words and sorry to have resurrected that horrible song from the depths of your memory banks. :(

[Ron]

@gilbertwood Arrgh! Just when I thought I had suppressed that stupid song, there you go messing my head up again! Thanks...I suppose.

[Ron]

@louannwarren Thanks Lou Ann. Yes, it's always a good time when getting together with the wonderful Ken and Louise.

[Ron]

@taffy Thanks Taffy - and thanks for not mentioning the overcooked processing. ;) I actually ran the shot through a few Topaz adjustments and the chromatic aberration is horrible, but let's just keep that to ourselves, K?

[Ron]

@Weezilou You are not alone Louise. I discovered myself that an aperture of 1.4, though allowing super fast shutter speed, does not lend itself to much in the way of depth. We'll be working on that in next week's photo class. Guess I'll be cranking up that ISO! Looking forward to your captures.

[Ron]

@joannakate Thanks very much Joanna. The flowers are a tad distorted, but I thought what the heck, I'll just go with it. Most seem OK with that.

[Ron]

@dianen Thanks Diane. I do appreciate it. Not quite as stunning as those beautiful daughters of yours though!

[Ron]

@photographycrazy Why thank you very much Bill. Good to hear from you. When are you going to treat us to more of your great shots?

[Diane]

@stray_shooter you are too kind! My daughters do not move as quickly as a butterfly!
