I took this photo a couples of days ago, there was a lot of wind so the butterfly had to 'hold on'. On my Blog I posted some more. Feel free to comment, here or|and on my blog.

Beautiful light Kristel. I also like the diagonal lines of the flowers and the butterfly. I'd have been interested in seeing this with a little more space on the sides and a little less at the top but I like it as posted.

Very good aesthetic impact, Kristel :smile: - Two flower cones alone would make for a fine shot, with the b'fly on, its just super.
