.... indeed, many thanks Joelle!!! It's nice to be reminded that it's not always so cold as it is just now!!

Isn't this a beautiful butterfly - not one I see very often round here. You've got a super picture of him.

The last time I tried to get a shot of one, I blew' the colours, my camera (me that is) just didn't know how to cope with them all!
 
What a lovely capture of this colourful chap, Joelle. Just what is needed to lift the spirits on a dank December afternoon.

Wow, what a gorgeous species and such a pristine specimen. Brilliant focus, dof, colors, lighting, detail, and setting. Awesome picture Joelle!!!
