A cold front's moving into central Texas this morning, it's windy & raining. So I went back & dug this one out from a sunny spring day.

I've become a big fan of butterfly images, Howard, mostly because I know how tough it is to get a good subject in good position, focus, and light, and with an attractive but non competing bg. This one meets every criteria. Outstanding BF image. I particularly like the outstanding wing display. :toast:

Gorgeous one, Howard. Love the colorful display all around here. The soft touch of the scene comes across very nicely with this delicate arrangement of the flower and butterfly. Very nice indeed. :cool:
