Elegantly composed and the butterfly looks beautiful amongst the thistles. It is a good combination - something so delicate with something else so prickly !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

It looks like the wings on this b'fly are in wonderful condition unlike others you sometimes see around - wonderful shot Sandi - you could try out for the National Geographic.

Even thistles need love Tigz. The butterfly is doing his best.
Good post.
