I had just literally sat down next to a picnic table when I spotted this butterfly land on a nearby bush. I was lucky enough to get 2 shots before it flew off.

I don't shoot insects that much, but the blue on the wings caught my eye. I rarely see this type of dragonfly around my area. Looks like he's taking a break drinking from a straw.

Handheld with Canon 70-200mm f2.8 and SOOC.
