It's amazing to me how nature has adapted some of these butterflies to blend in so completely with their environment while others stick out so obviously. My favorite shot is of the Phaeon Crescent on the little yellow blossom. The lighting in that shot is magical! You'd think it was taken with studio lighting. The butterfly almost glows. I love all of these, but the light in that one is especially striking. What a fantastic collection of captures!Geniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02035732790904857758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835532789424095913.post-61892450783091645642008-07-31T04:27:00.000-05:002008-07-31T04:27:00.000-05:00Goodness gracious!
