    A beautiful capture, well composed Trish, especially with the blue contrasting against the colours of the flowers!!

  • Phil, thank you so much for your lovely comments!
    It was quite tricky trying to avoid reflections and people and this was the only shot I managed with the wings open.

    I’ve never been to Nevada but it sure looks a helluva lot like Beryl… a butterfly I knew briefly – they don’t live long ya know. Lovely pic, Trish.

  • Poor Beryl … poor butterflies … but they do brighten our lives while they are around … Bellagio Casino has to be seen to be believed!
    Thanks Gary for your comments :)
