This Painted Lady Butterfly (Vanessa cardui) wings are backlit by the sun. The male and female both called Painted Lady?! This one's on the garden's New England asters (Aster novae-angliae) at head high with more asters in the background as bokeh. Beyond the bokeh, I love the tightly curled proboscis. I've edited this as I believe it's a "Painted lady" not an "American lady" butterfly. There's my ID lack of knowledge.
This begonia seemed to look best photographed from the backside with a ray of sun striking the front. I am not sure backlit is the right term, but I liked the look. Most of our flowers are past their prime but the begonias are going strong. I have had these begonias for a number of years and they do well with going dorment and then restarting them in the spring.

Still experimenting with the macro world's shallow DoF. On top of that, I tried to give this shot a distinct film look. Enjoy!

Not my style of photo, but I liked the light and spring atmosphere, best of all, it was taken from the hotel room balcony.
Bugs! While hiking in Wheatley Provincial park I was suddenly surrounded by hundreds of humming insects. A quick look around and i noticed midges all over sunlit leaves at the edge of the trail. The entire tree was covered with them. Luckily they were more interested in the sunny leaves than following me down the trail! I know you want to zoom in to see all the details!
It was a cool and cloudy day so I had to work with an artificial light source. This purple tulip has been in my freezer for about a month and finally, it was the day to be photographed. I really love the way the leaves ended up in this panel. Each one of these panels is an individual work of art and I just hope to shoot them in a way that highlights the beauty.
The snowdrops are the first messengers of spring in Hungary. On Tuesday we made a wonderful excursion in a nearby botanic garden, enjoying the sunshine and the 15 degrees C.

I was particularly thrilled to see a peaceful little Eastern Yellow robin today! Another tricky backlit pose to deal with, but it was lovely to see it.
A gingko street tree along Rundle Street blazes bright green as the long low rays of the almost setting sun catches its fan-shaped leaves.
Rundle Street was closed to traffic for the Zombie Walk Adelaide, and it was so liberating to walk down the middle of the empty sreet.
It was rather a relief to be able to take my time shooting inanimate subjects - letting each composition bubble up into my consciousness. I'd just had a couple of rather frustrating hours trying to shoot humans who kept moving around and have people moving into the shot between us. Street photography requires a very different state of mind and I don't quite understand it yet!
