Description Captured this shot while out this morning just after a brief rain shower. This one had me running all over the wet field trying to get some good close up shots. After about 15 minutes of this , it just flew off to the far side of the fields and went into the trees.

Enjoy the multi- colors of this beautiful butterfly!

Yeah, after a few moments I had that feeling it was just messing with me for it's own amusement!

Thank you!
