Description
Canon EOS 10D, Sigma 135-400 lens at 400mm
ISO 400, 1/400 sec, at f5.6
Photo was taken in the mountains of West Virginia, USA in 2003. We were driving nearly 900 miles in one day to visit with relatives at a family reunion, and we stopped to rest at a scenic overlook on the side of the road. When I got out of the car to stretch my legs, I saw lots of wildflowers covered with colorful butterflies. This is just one photo of many from that short stop. I would have never seen these colorful hidden treasures if I had not gotten out of the car.
