Beautiful, Cornelius. I love the deep magenta color of this butterfly bush and the added loveliness of this rich orange butterfly. You are inspired and now so am I.

Magnificent capture Cornelius, she's beautiful and you've caught her on a gorgeous blossom. We don't have too many butterflies around and I can't click fast enough.

Loved the info on the link about this beauty.

Cornelius - The rich colors and vivid detail, symmetry of the angles of the flowers all add up to a beautiful photo. Thank you for this. Thad
