Description

This butterfly was just about out of my reach. I took this shot with my camera held high as I could manage on automatic setting. I snapped three shots and this was the only complete result. Between the breeze and my arms fully extended one other was a fuzzy mess and the alternate was clear with a leaf obscuring part of the butterfly. Thank you for the comments on my last upload. -GB-
