Nikon D3200 - 90mm f/2.8 Macro -
Shot in the summer at the Royal Botanical Gardens. I am fond of the motion throughout this composition. I got in trouble for this one as I had to step on a low Heather bush to get the right angle....they are super hardy however!
Killing me with her sunshine sunshine
She's so unaware that she's my melpomene
You broke the code
Just like i'm sure you always do
Without intentions but I know
That's how I broke away from you
Now that the clouds are obsolete
I hope you landed on your feet
Without those evil demons
Keeping you reminding of...
... Just To Say Hi ...
Butterflies go fluttering by…
On colored wings that catch the eye…
On wings of orange, and silvery blue…
On wings of golden yellow, too…
Butterflies float in the air…
Making their homes most anywhere…
The rainforest, field, and prairie land…
On mountaintops, and desert sand…
If winter brings the cold and snow…
To warmer climates, off they go…
Returning home the following spring…
Beautiful butterflies on the wing….

The Paper Kites are the biggest size butterfly in Taiwan and fly the slowest too. I practiced my shooting skill by them. I can shoot the the other species thanks to them. Whenever watching them fluttering among flowers, my thoughts fly with them too. What a happy and beautiful world we are living!
Thank you all for your kindly comment and fav. That is a great pleasure of mine. Have a nice weekend~

Rather thrilled when we found a couple of these fluttering about. These are named more for the voracious larvae, according to Wikipedia. Too much information to add it all in here, but well worth checking it out. I believe we have these in UK on Jersey and perhaps Sussex. They don't fly far and are weak fliers at the best of times so was able to capture a fair amount of shots, but they are not that easy to shoot, I found. Unfortunately the many I took with the Canon are poor. This individual obligingly sat on the side of a discarded breeze block so I could take some head on shots, otherwise again the camouflage made it difficult for the cameras to focus. Plus was quite happy to pose on my hand, where it was better contrasted.

Graphic Flutterer (Rhyothemis graphiptera). We were mezmerized by this gorgeous dragonfly. It floated delicately on the breeze above our heads and we watched it for at least 10 minutes. Thankfully, it perched close enough and for long enough for me to get a shot. What a stunner! [Cumberland Plain, NSW]
