Its a lovely shot Karen and just like our Clouded Yellow.
A beautiful butterfly with such a vibrant colour :)
I think I've seen something similar, but didn't get a close enough look. Now I will try to see if I can see one..great nature lesson...
Karen: Very cute capture of this special butterfly.
such a soft and pretty pastel color. What a great capture.
Hi Karen
Just caught up with your last few postsand the super images, I really enjoyed the walk around Black Point that was really interesting.
The pink edges to the yellow wings are a surprise. Nature can mix any colours.
I have been trying to capture sulphurs all summer long. They NEVER keep still long enough. Kudos to you!
A very pretty butterfly. The yellow makes a nice contrast on the grass.
