I shot this photo at a butterfly garden at an individual's residence in Carolina Cove on Lake Livingston. The family planted butterfly friendly flowers to attract butterflies, and it worked! They were EVERYWHERE. There was also an ample supply of big, fluffy, bumble bees. YIKES! Stay tuned for more butterfly shots. ☺
Joni: Where on earth do you find such beautiful subjects to photograph? The perfect flower and the perfect butterfly, together at just the right moment in time. Stunning.
Doug: In a friend's back yard. They have a butterfly garden. I stood and shot a zillion photos trying to capture it while the wings were open. That's my super sensitive, top secret technique. Take a bunch, hope for one really good one! HA!
Morgan: Thank you! See my super sensitive, top secret technique in the comment above to Doug! HA!
Roy: Thank you. Love the purple flower!
Good morning, Joni, and === WOW === what an amazing shot!!! Thanks for sharing the beauty with us. Have a great day in real estate and more.
Joni - what a fantastic photo! I'm always trying to capture butterflies, especially when they are on a beautiful flower! I seem to only get shots with bees in them, lol! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Joni,
You have truly outdone yourself with this photo as the flower and the butterfly are spectacular. Happy Monday!
I'm trying to get some video of butterflies and humming birds this summer, they are both elusive. This is a fabulous shot Joni. Love the "planking" analogy. Made me chuckle.
Oh my! The flower and the butterfly are perfectly color coordinated. Pretty cool.
Joni, you definitely need to submit this photo to a photo contest! The colors are stunning and the composition is outstanding! I also think you should reproduce this photo and sell signed copies! When Steve raves about a photo, it is top notch!
Joni: What an incredible picture. You must have had a ton of patience to be able to wait for this butterfly to pose for you like this. Very, very nice.
Joni,
That is absolutely beautiful. I've been trying all summer to catch a butterfly on camera and I just haven't gotten the right shot. Congrats on the photo, it's amazing.
William: Thank YOU!
Kristine: I love bee shots!!
Thank you, Kirstin!
Debb: It made laugh too! ☺
Patricia: I did that on purpose! HA! :)))
Wow! Thanks, Steve!
Sharon: Maybe I'll just do that!
Thank you, Jennifer!
Karen: I shot a zillion shots trying to capture this. I wasn't really sure if I got it or not. :)
Melissa: I typically get one a year. I was especially blessed that day!
Karen: Isn't he the best!! (Thank you, Steve!!)
Joni, that's a great shot of the butterfly on the flower! Fantastic colors and fabulous definition!
Nice shot, Joni! I love the colors involved. So bright and cheery!
Have a wonderful week!
