Chasing Butterflies

Chasing Butterlies.......not metaphorically, but literally!  It was nice to spend time in the garden, especially when I noticed the number of butterflies flitting around......well, that looked like a good challenge!  Swallows are hard to photograph as they more so quickly......fernbirds are hard to photograph but for different reasons....they're elusive and like to hang out in dense bushes.  But photographing butterflies on the wing is a whole new level of challenge.  I liked the effect in this image - all I need now is to get one on the wing and in focus.  Wish me luck ;)
