Painted Lady Butterfly on Sunflower
There’s a farmer down the road from where I live who sells fresh produce and plants fields of sunflower seeds just for his customers’ viewing enjoyment. I visited his fields recently and had a joyous time snapping the sunflowers. A painted lady butterfly landed on this one and rested a while as I clicked away.

I have to say that, viewed large, this is a good example of what natural camouflage does for any creature. You did well to catch this amongst all those yellows and browns.

I was using a 400mm lens for this as I couldn’t walk right up to the flowers in the field and I almost missed this little lady’s presence. She was blending in very nicely with her surroundings. Thanks for taking a look and leaving a kind word.

I got a tip from the farmer, Agnes, that a certain day and time would make for prime viewing; he was right. Nothing like the country for finding simple treasures like this! Thanks as always, Agnes, for your encouraging words.

You are so lucky. You always manage to find that very special flower to take a shot at and make it look unique. This time you captured a butterfly with it. I love butterflies, dragonflies, mushrooms and OWLS. Beautiful shot.

Another excellent close-up, with beautiful colors!

Is there anyone out there who does NOT believe Mother Nature offers her own style of color coordination? What a perfect match! Job well done, Bons ~
