Perpetual motion machine

This butterfly was constantly on the move but finally stopped long enough to get a shot of it.

*****

We’ve now been to the Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens twice in the past month after keeping away during the worst (or the previous worst) of the pandemic. In addition to them being stunningly beautiful, it’s nice to see so many people there enjoying nature.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Excellent little white butterfly capture on a lovely floral as well. 'Nice composition and very nice in the resolution department. The dark background is a winner. Vote
