Another Garden Beauty...

This beautiful butterfly seems to have taken home in our backyard, as well as in the other surrounding flower bushes in the neighborhood. I have to say, it has been quite nice having its beauty fluttering around my garden. I have tried several times to get close enough to catch a shot, but unfortunately have had no luck.

However, today, while trying to exhaust my energetic puppy, I was finally able to play a little game of "Stalk the Poor Butterfly" and get a few amazing shots. Here are a couple of my favorites. The color in the wings is just too amazing for words. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

Broken Wing

There are so many things that are beautiful about this photo. One, most noticeably, being the bright blue beauty that radiates from this wings of this butterfly. I kept trying to catch this little guy, as he floated around my garden, however he was too interested in life to stop for even a moment, so I could document his greatness.

I did catch him for a brief second. Although, I didn't get the spread shot I was hoping to get, I was able to capture his broken wings. Through this butterfly's life, he has definitely taken a few hits, but as beautiful as ever, he goes on exploring!
