Fancy meeting you here.... Super!
Nice macro! Everything is really sharp!
Great macro, very well captured !!!
This shot is a beauty Alan.
Terrific!
Now that is amazing. Excellent!
Wonderful shot! How did you get them to sit still for you while you shot this? All our butties (which are few and far between) scarper the second they see any movement at all!
Never in London, they are painfully scarce now as is most species, even the humble cabbage white is thin on the ground, this is of course due to the destruction of their habitat by developers and over zealous weeding by gardeners, they hate the weeds, this I understand, but many a "Weed" is the butterflies food source for their caterpillars, some species use only a certain plant like the common blue that lays it's eggs on Plantago for instance.
Damn! Got carried away there and forgot to comment on the shot hehe! Excellent POV you got here Alan, it's always so tempting to shoot a butterfly straight down from the top, this is much better.
A two-fer. What a lucky man you. A brilliant shot. Stunning color.
Nicely captured.
beautiful visitors on the flower! enchanting capture! ;o)
Great shot.
Two beautiful Tortoiseshells - an excellent capture!
