Spread your wings and fly....butterfly!

Description


I am happy and sad in the same time because of this shot! Happy because finally I found a butterfly to shot! Sad because this butterfly didn't show her wings! What a pity! It was yellow and green, wonderful colors!

Guess who I want to dedicate this shot??? Mr Butterfly man!! LOL!! My uncle Laurence Saliba!!! Hoping his computer returned back home from the reparing centre!!

I had to look for a moment to 'see' the butterfly - it blends so well in the foliage.
A wonderful dedication Mata and a brilliant capture.
Love it!
