Oh I really like the lighting and shadows on this posting Ed, the butterfly is lovely against that pretty petunia.

He seems to be fully engrossed while consuming the Mexican brew Ed. Good clarity plus the light and shadow effect.

Get him a little sombrero and let him dance all over the Petunia. What a great capture Huck. I think your yard work is a lawn chair, cold frosty and of course your camera. :)
Have a good weekend.

Glad you are still seeing butterflies ... I'm lucky if I see even one (for the past few weeks, anyways). I like how it's partially silhouetted against the flower. Lighting & shadows are great too. Very well done Ed.

Refering to your yesterday's post Ed: think that the butterfly has to hurry itself, before the petunia will fall to the ground, lol.
Very good post again!

Take care of the camera at all costs. Buy it a tiny umbrella just in case it starts to rain when doing yard work. LOL. Excellent foofy and butterfly shot, Ed.

Sometimes the best photo's are the ones that take us by surprise. This one is wonderful. I like the colours, and the way the sunlight falls across the butterfly and flower. Lovely shot and well done!

Like my comment says...Sometimes God puts you in the right place just in time to have you click your shutter.(paraphrase from Ansel Adams).
