butterfly

I found this wee one on the photowalk today. she was kind enough to stop long enough for me to get a picture but I couldn't convince her to open her wings! :shrug:

Yeah, these models are quite delicate, aren't they? :rolleyes:. But you did a good shot anyway!

Very pretty colours. I had the same problem with my butterfly last week. Don't the darn things know we want pretty colours! :headslap:

thanks Iggy and MM. I"ll have to work on my model skills!

Very nice shot Bambi :)

thanks!

Beautiful shot, love the colors. It's a Red Admirable (Vanessa atlanta) and they are even mor beautiful with open wings. :p

I was talking with the branch manager yesterday about how uncooperative butterflies are. :shrug: This is still a nice shot, and sort of like looking at the back side of a flower - not as showy, but in a lot of ways more interesting.
