Description I got a new camera with a telephoto lens and I just went out to shot my first pics

another butterfly on a sweet pea flower

it's a brimstone
lat.: gonepteryx rhamni
deutsch: Zitronenfalter (ich habe extra nachgeschaut - es ist kein Kohlweißling )

Oooo prettiness! I thought it was a leaf at first. What a gorgeous little guy.

thank you
I know, they're really good at camouflaging
this one was really agitated, not as serene as the brown meadow - hard to catch

It must take a lot of patience to photograph these little guys
But wow, are they gorgeous.

Oh you have no idea - it takes time and I have to endure a sunburn, 'cause I wasn't moving for an hour or so

but I think it's worth it I caught a ' painted lady' and a ' peacock butterfly' too, but I'm not that used to my new camera yet so the pics were slightly to bright or to dark
