Caught this butterfly by the bright sunlight.

I had seen him the day before but could not get a good close up. The next day I was at the Dam Pond again and he was in the same place as the day before. Hold it steady - shoot! :)

Thank you for your comments.

You sure spend a lot of time by the dam pond Tigz. This is a great shot and I like his see thru wing. Evidently Butterfly don't have bones. Just kidding. No bones about it, this is a great shot.
