My last shot of this flutterby that was in the backyard. After these two shots, it just would not land. :)

Thank you for commenting.

This is stunning and it looks like it is just landing on the plant the detail and colours are blow away.

At least it posed for a couple of shots, Tigz.
Wonderful colors.

You're far better at catching them than I - landing or flying - nice capture.

A beautiful butterfly shot Sandi. We've had such a cold and wet Spring that there are few butterflies here.

It is nice that you could capture butterflies at all and this is a beauty. Haven't seen any that would be still for even a second. I suppose we will get our fill of them in days to come Sandi.

Sandi - The few I have had in the yard thus far this year have shown no interest in stopping for even a second. Hopefully, when flowers they like open, they'll settle for a bit and allow a photo or two. You captured this one nicely. Thad
