Description
On our way back to the car we enjoy the company of several butterflies, like this Apollo butterfly (Parnassius apollo). I love to shoot them but many butterflies keep hopping from one place to another! I'm impressed by the quality of many butterfly-shots on RR, it's not easy.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Yes, butties are always difficult to capture, but you managed to do this right in this scene.

Looks to be in flight but I can just see the flower it sits on....excellent capture of this pretty butty with the face on its back.

When I first saw this butterfly image, I thought of the same thing. How did you capture something that hops around fast. Excellent capture. Aloha

very beautiful butty and I agree they can be a hand full trying to capture them. it seems the smaller they are the more they flit about

Tu as bien gle DOF, et saisi le papillon ( butterfly) avant qu'il ne disparaisse ( before it ran away over field shot )That's great Also you always take time to know the name, scientist family, of the " faune et flore" you got Great !! ZibouX

Superb this one Jan-Carel, and to shot a butty in flight is not so easy !!!! It's a very lovely one, probably small, but with a particular texture on his wings. Cute little guy, and with a perfect DOF !!!! Have a nice evening my friend. Hugsssss V

So ephemeral, but so timeless, Jan-Carel, just floating there.'Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee', reminds of of that great Afro-American boxer, Muhammed Ali / Cassius Clay. There was a beauty in his moves in the boxing ring. He was not as delicate as this lovely little 'flitterby'. Thanks for the image. Regards John
