Butterfly

The third subject I captured while waiting for Lorelei.  That was the most productive 10 minutes I have ever had, I think.

What a camera you must have!!! And you must have great reflexes...the butterflies usually fly away before I can focus!! Great shot!

Nice! Sometimes you can go for days and all the photos you take just seem drab and boring, and then sometimes all the stars align just right and you get lots of beautiful shots. I am always hopeful that when I take my camera out it will be the second option that happens, but too often it's the first. It only makes it that much more rewarding when everything goes well.

A fine close up and capture of this pretty butterfly.
Very well done.

A worthwhile wait I am sure. Went to the local fair (Stanwood/Camano Fair) and saw some nice quilts but not as nice as yours. MB

Great capture! sometimes the best photo opportunities come when you least expect them.

Bees, bugs and butterflies sure do love thistles. Me too!
