Goodness, what an in-flight capture! Love the soft colors, the vibrant colors and the rich bokeh. =V=

Pfff. Butterflies only. I want to see a butterfly flying into a sunset with a big flower.

Whatever the variety, lovely. I have a few pictures of these from the Tennessee Aquarium. I never looked it up.
