Turf Wars

We went for a walk in some local fields to enjoy some fresh air and see all the flowers that are out,
before I have to work tonight. This butterfly (Great Spangled Fritillary?) was enjoying the thistle
when the bee flew into the shot.
I had to use my 300mm to keep my distance as the butterfly wouldn't let me closer without flying away,
but I liked the result anyway.


other sizes: small medium original auto
