Butterflies

Perceptive Perspective has "Critters" at its photo theme for this week.

We have a bunch of coneflowers planted in the flowerbed in front of our living room window. This year a whole bunch of butterflies discovered it and decided to make it their playground. Sometimes when you walk past, atleast 6 butterflies fly up out of the flowers. Today I snapped some pretty nice pictures with my telephoto lens.

Butterfly #1

This one is my favorite because I love how the depth of field almost makes the flower with the butterfly on it look like it is floating out of clouds.

Butterfly #3
