Description
There were still a few of the "Vanessa Cardui" or Painted Ladies around here last week. So I took the opportunity to capture a few shots. This one is dining on it's favorite food...the thistle!
I expect most of these butterflies will have disappeared by this weekend....They won't be back until next year...so...I may post a few more images of this series.
Nikon D70
Thanks for your views and comments on my last upload.
Enjoy!

Great macro.
Coincidence ... exactly on the same day I was watching a butterfly as beautiful as on your picture. It was such a rare occassion to see it in the middle of the town, cars rushing by, pedestrians in a hurry, and this little animal sat on a flower and didn't get enough of all the sweet stuff. Hope you don't mind if I save this on my HD as a memory to this wonderful moments. Thanks a lot for sharing !!!
