Queens of December
Lens: Irix 150mm f2.8 Dragonfly Macro Camera: K-3II Photo Location: Boerne, TX ISO: 1600 Shutter Speed: 1/800s Aperture: F5.6

This abnormally warm December in Texas has been very popular with the butterflies, particularly the Queens. Yesterday I spent a good hour and a few hundred shots at one salvia bush loaded with butterflies. They were completely oblivious to me, and the only real problem was they kept photo bombing my shots.

What a great experience. Nice to see butterflies in sunlight again. We had a blast of hard winter hit us a few days back. Terrific series Todd.
