Nature the Painted Lady

the Painted Lady · 12:57 AM

a common visitor but a bit flighty to photograph, this one almost seemed to be posing for me.

Nice shots Bob, haven't seen too many of these yet this year.

Nicely captured Bob. I like the eye in the third one.

They don't pose for long or often well done Bob.

Great job, buddy. I really dig the first one with the focus centered on the wing closest to the viewer.

You did well with those, Bob. They never stay still long enough for me.

Nice shots.--charliezap

Really looks like someone painted that lady, great shot.

NIce!
It was a bad year for these guys this year in No. IL. A long, cool spring was the likely culprit. Not as many admirals either.

Love seeing these gorgeous butterflies Bob…. butterflies always make me smile. Beautiful shots.

I think it was just feeling sorry for me and stopped for a while.
