Around here, these are hard to get close to, Yun.  This is a great view with outstanding colors and details against a fine background.  They do tend to favor cool weather as I was "chasing" one on a warm day in mid-November, but it wouldn't let me get within ~6 feet.

Beautiful Yun.
It's what a b-fly image should look like - Both technically & aesthetically
