I ran across this butterfly earlier today. It was doing its best to dry out its wings after a night of light rain laying low in the bushes. Too bad I spotted the tiny movements it made. So I got down nice and low on the ground to take some photos. I proceeded to meticulously remove blades of grass, plant stems and old blackberry vines from my line of sight trying not to disturb the butterfly in the process. Shooting involved holding the camera at odd angles while fending off hungry mosquitoes. Several hundred shots and two wet, grass-stained knees later I crawled away covered in ants. Next time I'll be sure to check the ground I'll be laying on before crawling around.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.
