A Butterfly's Dedicated Pose.........

Hello, Friends, after a very long conversation with this lady, I was able to persuade her to pose for my camera, with a slight wing spread! She agreed to nothing more. I insisted she turn toward me, but she was determined not to, so I concluded, she may be a shy one. :o) I then thanked her graciously, and went on my way.......counting my blessings! This photo was taken at MSU gardens, where I spent an entire afternoon with a friend. Very enjoyable, indeed! Please enjoy, and thank you, Marilyn

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

WOW Marilyn! What a spectacular vision! Breathtaking beauty and composition. The flower is dazzling as is the delicate butterfly. Enticing sunlight adding a glow to those petals. The colors are lush and the red contrasts well with the pale pink of the bloom. Awesome blurred background of the garden. Thanks for all this vibrant beauty my flower lady :)

Love how you captured your butterfly on a flower that compliments the color on her wings...of course, any woman knows what colors she wears best, eh?
Very tasteful and well done my friend. Keep on snapping for me. ;=)
