Yesterday I was extremely lucky to come home and notice quite a few Monarch Butterflies flitting about my Buddleias (butterfly bushes). I ran inside and grabbed my camera to try to take a few shots.When I first came up to the bush, the butterflies flew away but almost instantly they got used to my standing there and as long as I moved slowly, I was able to photograph them.
One butterfly caught my eye right away. The interior section of the pattern on it's wings was a blur. I just couldn't get my eyes to focus on this spot. How cool is that?
Even in this shot where you can clearly see the antennae, you can't get a clear image of the spot where the body meets the wings.I do so love taking photos of butterflies. They are just so ethereal and graceful.
Today is nicely overcast so I will head out there and try for more photos.
