Lovely images. I am very much enjoying your trips outdoors (while I’m in lockdown).
Keep safe and well. 🙂
Happy to help brighten you day a little. 😘
Butterflies are so difficult to photograph, their immediate survival depends on their unpredictable movements but it is difficult to immortalise them.
You should see how many outtakes I had – LOL. Glad I don’t have to pay for the “film”.
A very beautiful collection
i like butterflies and these are lovely. Not too keen on the bugs bus I do like the last one 🙂
Thanks for the comments Eunice.
