Wishing you all a lovely weekend, and thank you for your look, or leaving any words, it's always very much appreciated.

Cool butterfly, looks close to the glass variety
Sadly this disappeared from the Uk in the 1920's. We don't have that gorgeous Admiral here either., so thankyou for the great pics!
very nice capture, great details
I love this image Jacomina - excellent photography.
Fine shot - crisp & sharp...

Superb capture Mies. God bless.
wow.. deze heb ik nog nooit in het echt gezien; prachtig fav
een Plezier om naar te kijken.
Schitterende opname.
Stunning image my friend :)
Awesome capture Jacomina.
beautiful!
superb focus and details
That's a fantastic shot of this butterfly that as was already said can no long be seen here in the UK
The beautiful soft purple background, really helps bring out the delicate hairs, black lines and dots on the soft paper-like wings.
Amazing camera work, you are very professional Mies.
XxOo
I hate skipping images, but I'm almost at a full hour, and I so want to get a good sampling. This is gorgeous, especially full-view. (I hope everyone is zooming your images!) The butterfly is so green---a light, pale green. And his wings seem almost like stained glass. You caught the hairs on its body beautifully. As you did, the barbs on his legs, and the light-colored tips of his antennae. In addition, his wings make the most delicate contrast with all that pink behind him: The pink is a wonderful background. Beautiful work, Jacomina, one of your most delicate butterfly shots, of the many beautiful shots you've posted lately.
