Description
Domenica mattina , con amici, mi sono recato nella Tenuta di S. Rossore ( Pisa ) . per anni residenza estiva del Presidente della Repubblica . In quel posto si trova anche il famoso Ippodromo che porta appunto questo nome .
Ci siamo avventurati lungo il fiume Morto in cerca di qualche buon soggetto da fotografare .Abbiamo incontrato subito una faina , che si è nascosta quasi subito , Poi una famiglia di cinghiali ha attraversato di corsa il sentiero , ma non abbiamo potuta fare foto dalla posizione in cui ci siamo trovati al momento.
Poi la foto di stasera , dove io , pronto per fotografare una piccola farfalla che sta per posarsi davanti a me , vedo un movimento improvviso e vedo arrivare, correndo lungo i fili che vedete sulla destra , un ragno che , in pochi secondi , ha immobilizzato la farfalla che diventa la sua colazione .
Sunday morning, with friends, I went to the tenuta of S. Redness (Pisa), for years the summer residence of the President of the Republic. In that place is the famous Hippodrome leading precisely this name.
We ventured along the Dead River in search of a good subject to photograph. We met once a weasel, which was almost immediately hidden, then a family of wild boar ran across the path, but we could take pictures from the position which we found ourselves at the moment.
Then the picture tonight, where I am, ready to photograph a small butterfly is about to alight in front of me, I see a sudden movement and I see her coming, running along the wires that you see on the right, a spider, in seconds, immobilized the butterfly gets her breakfast.
Poi abbiamo visto ancora un daino , una libellula che a volo ha preso una farfalla e si è messa a consumare il pranzo nel punto da me previsto ( foto scattate ) . Abbiamo chiuso sul fiume morto con un gruppo di aironi , stanchi per i km percorsi , ma soddisfatti per la bella mattinata passata.
Then we again saw a deer, a dragonfly in flight took a butterfly and she started to have lunch in the point that I expected (photos). We closed on the dead river with a group of herons, tired for mileage, but happy for the beautiful morning spent.

I am very sad for this beautiful butterfly. But curiosity brings us to make a choice and sometimes it is not good one ... Congratulations again and many thanks for sharing this beauty ((5 + +)) Je suis bien triste pour ce joli papillon . Mais la curiosité nous apporte à faire un choix et des fois ce n'est pas le bon... Bravo encore et mille mercis de partager cette beauté ((5++))

Cruenta ma bella, soprattutto per la prontezza di riflessi! Aspetto con ansia anche il pasto della libellula...

Sad to see the end of such a beautiful butterfly. Nature is sometimes harsh as can be seen in your capture. Stunning capture my friend. God Bless.

Stunning and fantastic macro, Mario

A very bad day for butterflies. Outstanding image, sad but fascinating. Una giornata molto negativa per le farfalle. Immagine eccezionale, triste ma affascinante.

Oh dear what a shame for the butterfly but a good breakfast for the spider. I guess it is just life. An excellent capture and you sound to have had a good morning walk.
