Fragile Beauty!
The lovely Tara has set us an easy theme this but as she is becoming more the task master, she has added a little ‘suggestion’! The theme is animals but she has asked that we go out and look for something a little different. Well, you know me – always the keener to please!
This photograph is so special because it was able to be taken. Sounds confused? What I mean is that often these beautiful fragile creatures do not wait for man-kind to get their cameras out, set the lens, check the distance and the light. They appear and share their beauty with us and then they are off.
This butterfly stayed for what was in butterfly terms – ages! Just look at the detail of its legs and proboscis. Nature is so wonderful isn’t she?
Do pop and look at these ‘Papillions’ from my friend Teresita (known as Petal Pusher). They are fabulous!
Then click the lens cap and go and investigate all the other animals on show!
what a great photo 😀 butterflies are magnificant aren’t they and to get such a good photo is amazing 🙂
Thank you. It is one of most prized!
I love the striking pattern of the butterfly against the tiny flowers. Just beautiful.
Thank you. I thought the flowers were as attractive as the butterfly!Many thanks for popping in!
this is just lovely, really beautiful.
Butterflies are so special.
They certainly are. Glad you liked it Gemma!
Lovely to have a cooperative subject and yes, makes you appreciate nature at its best
My try is over at http://gigglingatitall.blogspot.com
It ceetainly does. How does she do it I wonder?!
That is so true. Animals with wings rarely cooperate with the camera! Well done
She /he was very patient! I did say think you! Brilliant to see you here – do pop in again!
Beautiful picture! It’s very difficult when is about animals, they never stay still long enough. You find the right framing, the right position, then you focus and… It flies away! I spent two hours trying to get a good shot of a hummingbird… Unsuccessfully.
I feel really pleased now that I’ve read that Pablo! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
Wow, that’s really gorgeous. I’ve never been lucky enough to take one like that.
They are really so special because of their fleeting movements! Thank you for visiting here. Hope to see you again!
wow what a stunning picture. Butterflies are so beautiful x
Thank you. It is a good one isn’t it *blushes from big-headedness*
That is amazing! Fantastic photo!
Thank you. I was pleased!
That’s a gorgeous shot. Just lovely. I do love butterlfies and agree they seem so fragile.
Thanks for stopping by!
Really nice shot. I posted a shot of a butterfly on my blog for the gallery as well – you might like it.
I am also lucky enough to live near a place called Butterfly World where there is a purpose built place for exotic butterflies to live. It’s a wonderful place to go because the insects are used to people and just fly about in front of you. I have loads of photos from a day out there.
How delightful! I love the photo—————
Also, thanks so much for visiting my blog about meeting Lisa. It’s fun that you recognized her! I hope you’ll come back sometime soon!
In the meantime, have a great week!
Kathy
Great that you’ve come back! Any chance of an email subscription to the blog? I’m hopeless with readers!
I have a bit of a love / hate relationship with butterflies as I can appreciate their beauty but I have a phobia of moths and it seems to be scared of one and not the other, just because moths don’t look as nice! Great shot though! x
I think if they are flying around near your head, it can be unnerving. Thanks for visiting!
Wow great picture! Love how delicate the white flowers are also. Beautiful!
Thank you! I must say I was pleased with it! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Very Good shot! I’m always trying to get photo’s of butterflies and know how difficult it can be. Excellent detail, lovely photo x
Many thanks. They don’t wait to be photographed do they! Thanks for visiting. Hope to see you again!
Oh wow, lovely pic! I love butterflies 🙂
They are beautiful aren’t they!
How wonderful! Is that a Cinnabar moth? I’ve done butterflies this week too 🙂
I wouldn’t know. I’ll go check!
Such a beautiful if fragile creature and the details on it’s wings are amazing arent they? Great entry as always Julia xx
Aw thanks Jen. It was a real lucky chance really
Beautiful and delicate creature, love the flower it’s on. What is it?
I know it as cow parsley!
Thanks P. They fascinate me because they are so fragile. Great to see you here!
It’s a lovely shot. Butterflies amaze me with their delicate wings and limbs and you have captured that perfectly.
