This past weekend, I found a bumblebee and a butterfly sharing the same flowers.
In my experience so far, it's been really difficult getting good shots of butterflies, as they're too quick for me.
This time, though, the bumblebee proved to be the one who flew off first...
leaving the butterfly behind to search the rest of the flower for nectar.

Nice Job on these shots!
These are really beautiful. Great colors! I have a terrible time trying to get butterflies. They fly too much. :-D
wow! what lens did you use on these?
These are fantastic!!
Nice bokeh! Those are pretty flowers.
You are lucky to have caught that! Can never manage to catch butterflies!!
These are GORGEOUS- I am LOVING that soft pink flower agains the green!
Amazing colors! I love all of these shots! I saw a butterfly like that on my neighbor's bush when I was walking to pick my kids up from school yesterday. Of course I didn't have my camera with me!
These are beautiful! I love the colors and contrasts you got! Many years ago, I took a photography class, and the teacher was obsessed with butterflies. The only thing he taught was capturing them, but them in a jar in a refrigerator to numb them and slow them down. . . then let them go and take their picture. YUK! It was a worthless class! Your photos just took a bit of patience, and they're beautiful!
Love the sixth shot especially. I see photographers at the duck ponds shooting insects, and what they do is to set up on a tripod their GIANT lens, point it at the place where they expect the insect to land, and wait. And wait. I think you did a great job here, and I remember your shots of damselflies--gorgeous.
Oh, and your new header is happy!
These are so great, do you have a macro? I just love the color here. I hope your day is better today :(
Great job capturing this butterfly.
You're getting a little soft and girly on me there, shutterbug!
Oh wow--these are really cool, Amy! Such a different look for you, and you did a great job with those speedy little guys. LOVE your 12th Street shots above. You have the best eye for urban landscape and detail.
