Last week my wife found this beautiful button bush full of butterflies -
This bush is accessible only by hiking a trail near our home (The main road is still closed off) - We hiked this trail mid-afternoon with the temp in the 100's but well worth it! This leads you to the creek/lake that flooded in May and remains 20 feet over the banks. The butterflies are thriving in this area which is one positive sign!

Sometimes we get rewarded when we put that extra effort in like you did here. I love reading what a photographer had to do to get the picture. Love the beautiful colors of the background, makes the butterfly and the flowering plants stand out. Gorgeous bold colors, perfect lighting, awesome details. Well worth the effort Jeff. #11342967JO ANN CLEVELAND August 08, 2015

Superb macro shot Jeff! The background in a soft pastel color certainly enhances the beauty of the butterfly. #11343558
