Yesterday, I had a grand time taking photos of a visitor in our garden. I was done hanging the laundry outside for drying when my attention got caught by this friendly winged creature.
I quickly grabbed my phone not minding whether my hands were wet and slowly approached the fellow wishing it won't be too shy and fly away....
..it teased me non-stop
...even admiring its own shadow...
 |
until it finally rested on a flower bed....and made me love gardening all the more...and the family and friends who inspire me everyday..to love every creature like there is no tomorrow... |
(photos taken using Samsung Galaxy Note II)
nice captures, the butterfly is not a camera shy, isn't it? ahaha

ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of picturing the butterfly, you took great pictures indeed the position of its wings and you can actually see its design, it must think that it is a star that's why it teases you.

ReplyDeleteOh wow, she's gorgeous. I love the one where she catches a shadow. They say that butterflies are spirits of love ones who departed from life so whenever I see one, I always wonder who they are.
