Pearl Crescent/ Macro Monday

Pearl Crescent butterfly resting on a leaf

Last week the forest was alive with butterflies. I wish I'd had my longer zoom lens with me but I walk in the forest with my lighter lens so the photo is not quite as clear as I would like. The good news is that you can at least see what a pearl crescent looks like.

    Yes, that's a lovely image. The colors of the insect and the leaves blend so beautifully.

    Very beautiful shot! How do you shot a butterfly without them flying away from you? I tried taking photo with butterflies or dragonflies but they are so quick a little movement or sound they are gone. ^_^

    We both have butterflys. I understand the problem of lenses, even with two cameras I often want a different lens.

    great wingpattern on this butterfly. :) Nice to see.



    I am trying to start a meme, or meetingplace, for our small, winged friends. Maybe you would like to check it out? Next one is on Thursday evening. I´d like it to be international.

    So soft and delicate. I hear what you mean about the long lens. I really thought that's what I wanted to do with photography. Now I'm about ready to go with a more powerful point-and-shoot because after being out about an hour with a camera and two lenses my neck, back and everything else is just killing me!

    He's a real stunner, isn't he? I love how so many of these orangey-brown butterflies look so much the same on first sight, but they all have their own individual beauty.
