Butterfly Wings #3

Took some time out for a nature walk the other day and out of nowhere came this beautiful flutterby. This was the best one of the shots I took, he/she was so active that is was hard to get one at all. Used the Canon 70-300 IS USM lens and hand held.

I'm not sure what kind of butterfly this one is, but I sure think it's gorgeous. I don't see that many of this kind around here.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

That's a nicely marked butterfly, Sandi. I didn't see any like that where I went a few weeks ago. Beautifully captured against the sky. Nice work.

I believe this is a Spicebush Swallowtail Sandi, great picture of her by the way. The DoF, and Focus are spot on. Wonder Presentation too. I have an image of this species posted in my gallery as, "In a Hurry".

Butterflies don't stay still for very long. The blue sky really sets it off. Wonderful capture Sandi.

The composition of this picture is wonderful Sandi. It's quite unusual to be able to see a butterfly against the blue of the sky and it works really well. Did you have to lay in wait for ages to get this?

WOW!!! What a stunner....The blue sky as a backdrop really makes here "POP" even more than she does already. Beautiful work dear.

It certainly is a gorgeous flutterby Sandi! The bit of iridescent blue along with the orange markings on it's wings looks strikingly beautiful with it's black/brown body! Excellent focus and details on this beauty, and I love the contrast of the soft blue background! Nicely done!

Gorgeous Sandi

I will not be leaving comments on the new postings for the next 2 and ½ weeks, due to me being very busy getting ready for the holidays. So I hope you don’t mind, but I’ll be checking on them when I can. Look out, here I come to hotter weather, lol.
