Gateway Butterfly

I'm always very pleased when I come away from a 'non-photography day' with a decent photo or two. Yesterday saw me "hunting bears" in the woods with my two-year-old godson (with me fill the roles of both hunter and bear). On our return, we found a patch of bracken which was alive with butterflies - including a couple I've never seen before.



The gateway butterflies rarely settled, and startled easily - but after a bit of patient stalking we managed to get a few shots.

  1. You never know when you'll have a great subject to capture. It makes sense to always have a camera with you, at lest a point and shoot one. Great photo!
