Beautiful butterfly ! the once I have seen in our garden this year, were pale yellow and looked rather miserable !

Jane said...

A really beautiful photo! Butterflies are so frustrating to capture aren't they? Always flitting around , never staying still! You did well:)

That is one gorgeous butterfly! The orange really popped against the black color.

LORIK,
THE DEAD BLACK-EYED SUSAN STEMS IN THE BACKGROUND DIDN'T DO THE COMPOSITION JUSTICE BUT THE MORE I LOOKED AT IT THE MORE I WAS OK WITH THAT DARK ELEMENT. AND, WHEN YOU'RE SHOOTING OUT OF A WINDOW TRYING TO CAPTURE A FLUTTERING BUTTERFLY YOU TAKE WHAT YOU CAN GET. :)
