Beautiful macro, a remarkable butterfly. So colorful Vicki! #1174484

Vicki L. Filippin August 30, 2009

Thank you, Donna! It was the first one of the season I'd seen so far. We get flocks of them in the front yard on these plants every autumn. I didn't even bother grabbing the Canon for this shot; my Fuji is still my camera of choice for Macro. #7901464

Amanda D. Austwick level-classic July 03, 2010

Vicki, this is such a beautiful butterfly with it's iridescent wings. A well deserved win!
One thing that I have noticed where I live in the past couple of years, is that there are a lot less butterflies, bees, and ants than there were 10 years ago when we moved here. The only thing that I can think of is the pesticides that the local farmers use. #8731853

Vicki L. Filippin July 03, 2010

Thanks for the kind words, Amanda!
I think you might be right on the flying critters...not many fireflies, either. The daughter of a friend of mine recently told me that bees are very close to the endagered list. It's a scary thing. #8731908
