Thank you , I started photographing Butterflies a good time back ,Because my wife liked the photos . It doesn't take long to get hooked . They can be a challenge ,they move a lot ,and hard to get a clean Bg . Every now and then it all comes together .... I just use the "Take a bazillion photos " method . lol

Thanks Carver & NatureMan
The butterflies were on Butterfly Bushes in the back yard . They surround one of my fish ponds thus getting plenty of overspray which keeps them healthy . Keeping the Owls ,Hawks and feral Cats away from the koi ,Well that's a whole new subject ...lol
