Sanctuary
I was just walking around in Lavender Canyon and came across this little fellow. The wind was blowing pretty hard that day, certainly hard enough to blow this butterfly away uncontrollably, and discovered it on this flower with its head into the wind and its wings folded back for streamlining. He was smart though. The flower was on the sheltered side of a large sage bush that created a shelter from the storm.
As I approached I was cautious to not scare him, but as I snapped and moved closer, he was more afraid of the wind than he was of me. I was able to get a few nice shots before I moved on to let him weather the storm in peace.
Lavender Canyon is locate in Canyonlands National Park in Utah.
