Painted Lady Butterfly (vanessa cardui) on Erysimum Flower. I went out to Hillier Gardens yesterday to shoot flowers and got a couple of these flutterbies as a bonus! ;o)

    Painted lady meets the Camera Lady and MAGIC happens! This is stunningly beautiful, Krys. The butterfly’s details are crisp and clear and perfectly focused while the background provides just the right amount of color and visual appeal without being distracting. LOVELY work! More please!

    Lovely shot, Krys. I happened to be watching ‘Springwatch’ on the box last night and it seems we’re in for a lot of these characters in the UK this year.

    Lovely, Krys! What a nice find… = )

    Our painted ladies made the migration through our parts a couple months back. They are so neat!

  • Krys Bailey replied

    Thanks Kimmie – well ours have to wait longer until it warms up! Its been pretty hot the last couple of weeks and apparently the UK is doing well for flutterbies this year!! ;o)

    Thanks Nori! I’ve been amazed by the comments on this one – Painted Ladies aren’t terribly exotic, after all! ;o)

    Beautiful shot Krys. i”ve gotten a few photos of butterflies..but most of the time i just end up chasing them.fantastic shot

  • Krys Bailey replied

    Thanks Cheryl! I know what you mean about chasing them – fortunately these flowers were so tasty that the butterfly kept returning for a nibble!
