We found this little butterfly enjoying his lunch while we enjoyed ours in Hendersonville, NC You can see the Blue Ridge Mountains in the backgound. You can see how they got their name! I used an Olympus Superzoom 35mm on 400 film. And he let me take half a roll before he left.

This is an excellent capture. I love the changes you've made - subtle. The composition is great.

I too have emptied my camera while chasing these lovely creatures. You ended up with a wonderful composition with plenty of the surrounding environment so we can see what the butterfly is doing, and that’s a little unusual. I like it.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

During my visit to your website this is one of the first things to catch my eye, I'm glad you sized it and posted it here. The light that makes the butterfly glow is wonderful.

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see. ~Dorothea Lange

an added note~ I like the depth of the image - the fore, middle and background offer a lot to the photo

I like the blue horizon. It does seem lucky. I always strive to get closer when photographing life.

I think you are the lucky one. A beautiful place, setting, time of day and subject. Doesn't get any better than that, especially in very capable hands. 10 by me.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Wow! I am so glad I found this website. This picture is amazing! I set it as my wallpaper even though it makes me a little dizzy because it's so realistic I feel as if I'm too close to the edge LOL
