I know "Not more butterflies".
Well I think that when you have so many Orange Tip flying this year you have to make the best of it.
They do make a lovely subject.

These four shots below I took of one male that was pitched on a Cuckoo Flower and there was water in the background. I couldn't get a better angle than this as I would have blocked out the sun and it would have disturbed the butterfly. Of course it would stay on the opposite side all the time as thats where the open flowers were.
We can never get too many butterflies (or images of them) Roy...keep 'em coming.
ReplyDeleteThe Orange Tip is always good to see and you've captured some cracking images here. Do you bribe them to 'sit' for you?...those I've seen around here seem to have itchy feet and rarely pitch for more than a few seconds...lol.
More please...[;o)
Thanks Trevor, no bribes, its just my charm and good around agreeable manner.{:))
Deleteoh it is indeed such a beautiful butterfly; more lovely images from you Roy...

Simply fantastic shots Roy, just stunning :-) It is interesting to read that you have lots of Orange-Tips down your way this year whereas up here they seem a bit scarce at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThanks David. Yes, I see plenty every time I go out at the moment which makes a change form some years.
DeleteGorgeous shots! I love butterflies and I don't think there can be too many of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gunilla.
DeletePlease keep showing us the butterfly shots, Roy! These are beautiful and I love Orange Tips - I especially love seeing them on their favourite Cuckoo Flower/Lady's Smock. I am treasuring the sight of these lovely butterflies here before they disappear for another year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, there are certainly a good few about this year.
DeleteBeautiful pictures of the Orange Tip butterfly. I know they are not easy to capture, they don't hang around for long.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyn.
DeleteLove the orange tips Roy, we seem to have quite a lot as well.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to see Roy.
ReplyDeleteThe orange tip you know more star corpse to photograph. Beautiful colors, clear and pretty sharp. Also, your last four photos with the beautiful "bubbles" in it are gorgeous. Your header did you nicely updated and is very beautiful. Compliments for this series.
