First Butterfly

3/25/11, macro. Sheesh! I get called a smarty-pants gloating FLOWER shooter by you snowed-in cabin-fevered Northerners for showing all the Spring flowers around here! Just to show it isn't true, here is a new BUTTERFLY that I chased today in the yard! See- I can gloat about ANYTHING- not just flowers! LOL!

What a superb macro close up Carol, our butterflies are staring to get a bit scarce with the onset on the cooler weather!

Absolutely gorgeous image, Carol! Love the superb framing, comp, and detail! #9317230Monnie Ryan March 25, 2011 0
LOL! It's a bit painful, I admit, but when you've captured either or both this beautifully, you're entitled to gloat! Hard to believe they're flying around already down your way, but I'll take that as a sign we may see an earlier than usual spring. #9317248Robert R. Goodman March 25, 2011 0
