Another beautiful capture Ruby. It looks so pretty on these white flowers with it's bright colors. Blends so well with the daylillies. Lucky you were able to shoot this before it flew away.

Another good one Ruby. Like the softness of it and full screen it's very pleasing. Glad he stayed long enough for you to capture him. Very nice post. Thanks for sharing it.

I'm glad you did not try to zero in on this one. It's lovely as is. The butterfly's surroundings fully compliment the beautful creature. Well done.

Oh, she's a pretty. These butterflies are endangered I believe. They are so beautiful and against the white phlox, this is truly lovely.

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

This is why I love this site. I have absolute admiration for anyone who can react so quickly to capture such a fleeting moment. I'm so envious. Brilliant photo.
