I seldom see butterflies where we live. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. This is a beautiful capture of one in flight. I think they should be called flutterbys, because that is what they do, flutter by.

@Marion: I see them passing over my home all the time... unfortunately I only have legs and can't fly to get their pictures...

beautiful composition with lots of green, i like the sense of movement here, the little blur of the butterfly wings is an effect here

beautiful clarity in the movement and always beautiful compositions, which are more important in macro insects!
