Frustrated

[Ziggy]

Trying to get a shot of the Ironweed bloom but the butterflies keep getting in the way.

Lucky you, you mean....

Lucky you, you mean....

I guess so Izzie,

Just had a great weekend of chasing the butterflies.

[Rita]

I would be happy to succeed with one good butterfly. Well done.

[Rebel]

Beautiful image Jim!

[ChrisH]

The butterflies make this image for me. well done.

[James G]

Jim, beautiful capture... and you are right... out for the day looking for specimen wild flowers and the d~m$ed insects get in the way.
Seriously though, I really like the light in this and the background is nicely subdued.

[Shadowman]

Nice.

[Donald]

That's one of those images that it is just so pleasing and relaxing to gaze at.

Lovely butterflies

[chauncey]

but the butterflies keep getting in the way

Those crosses that we are forced to bear...they are indeed tedious.
Nice flowers though.

[Teton Chuck]

Very nice image.

[JBW]

if it weren't for bad luck you would have no luck at all. I am guessing somewhere between F/8 and 14 to get the depth of field and the nicely blurred bg?

[Ndukes]

Hope your luck improves Jim.
Really nice image.

[Ziggy]

Thanks all.

You're butterfly images are really inspiring Jim. Spring is nearly here in Oz so hoping to capture some of my own.

Thanks Greg. Living in Ohio I know what it is like waiting for life to return.

Will be looking forward to some butterflies from your part of the world.
