Asymmetrical pose of a butterfly.

Saw at a park of Taiwan

My wife did let me "man handle" this little guy for a few studio shots after he emerged from his cocoon prior to letting him go free.

Don't worry, no butterflies were hurt in making this picture ... After all, I play an entomologist on the interweb. :D

In all the months that I've been retired,, I've never just hopped in the car and driven a long distance for a solo photo shoot. So glad I did. It reminded me how much I like photography.

I debated whether this fit the scavenger item. I could probably have gotten closer! But I wanted to see the flowers too.
