2011/147: Butterfly, Take 1

This little beauty was very brave and let me get within inches with the camera, and didn’t fly away. Of course the secret is to move very slowly.

    Nice capture. Reminds me of the cartoons with Elmer Fudd…”be very, very quiet”

      LOL yes, but I’m taller, don’t wear a funny hat, and don’t carry a shot gun 😉

    It’s obviously sunbathing!! And therefore too relaxed to even be bothered by you… 😉

    Nice capture!

    Beautiful. We have those little guys and gals here too.

    I’m beginning to think the secret of all photography is to move very, every slowly. But I could be wrong. 🙂

      Well, it depends…. with kids you might have to move very, very fast! 😉

          That’s one good thing about being a YOUNG grandmother, right? 🙂

    You got that right. We are so YOUNG people wonder how it’s possible we could be grandmothers. 😀

    Beautiful image! It must be difficult to photograph butterflies – and require much patience!
