You know, I never see butterflies like this around here!! And that's too bad, because I LOVE them!

I'm not seeing as many this year, and when I do the light isn't always cooperating

I'm hoping that when my butterfly bush blooms, I'll see more butterflies in general - at this point I'm not hoping for a certain species...just any butterfly will make me smile at this point!

It's cool that they remind you of your grandmother

It's odd because I miss her more when I haven't seen any butterflies in a while. Strange how we equate memories that way. But yes, cool at the same time.

My mother use to make home made bread when I was little (back in the early 70s -dating myself ) and to this day I can think of it and actually smell the bread...

it's so beautiful.
looks like those magical butterflies they have around fairies or something fantasy.

When the light is good it's easy to get that dreamy color and contrast.

I think I like this one better than the other... they both have great qualities, but I find the background in this one more suitable for the soft nature of the butterfly, plus the colors complement its wings

Stunning work, beautiful colour contrast. I only wish the grass to the top right wasnt such a distraction. Perhaps you could darken it a little?

Thanks Alex

I could tone it down, but then I think it might look odd when compared to the butterfly -the light is hitting both the grass and the critter equally.

Thanks

I got a break on that one -the light was coming through some tall grass to my left and it painted the background for me. All I had to do was position myself to compose for it.
