No, not today:) The weather is terrible and no spare time.
About 50 of them were flying around a small field with cross-leaved heath.
It's a lovely sight to see all those happy butterflies. It's a hard to pick out the most beautiful. Hope you like this one.

Hi Edwin,
Another wonderful shot. Cant wait to have the Butterfles back here in the U K.
Great image. Not entirely sure whether I personally prefer it without the little 'clump' at the bottom but either way, great stuff!
This great little butterfly is extremely localised in the UK mainly due to farming techniques and land management (it's foodplants are very low growing). There is a large colony (one of the largest in the UK) in North Wales near to where I live but unfortunately, the whiole area was under several inches of water for quite a few days last year in the heavy rain we had during the summer, so I despair of the effect this has had on the population
So well seen and captured, I do however wish for just a little bit more DoF, you should be safe to around f11 before diffraction rears its ugly head, from your techs that should have been possible.... still love it.....

Very nice Edwin, I think the composition works really well, you are sort of expecting a flower at the top....but it's even better!

Beautiful shot Edwin - Spring is coming - Brimstones in 8-10 weeks or so. Eric

If you look very close you see a Tick. Very dangerous over here.
