Baited Butterfly
Yesterday afternoon I set up a small yellow flower in a drinking glass. Then I carefully placed several drops of sugar water onto the blossom. I set up my camera and tripod close by and I prefocused my camera onto the flower head. Within minutes I had butterflies sipping nectar from the flower.This image of a Mylitta Crescent was my favorite. What a great way to spend the afternoon. God's blessings to all,
