    Trying to catch these butterflys has been a real challenge this year.....they are always moving and here I am moving all around the flower bed waiting for them to hold still while I focus on them....they are sure full of energy....[​IMG]

    I've given up trying to photograph them. Every time they seem to be hanging around, I don't have the camera on me. And when I do have it, they seem to be in a hurry! :D
    Nice photos!
