Beautiful photo Flcrazy...

Well-photographed.
Good close-up. :o)

Excellent photo! I love the profile shot on the hibiscus, it's great :) How far away were you from the butterfly when you took this, Flcrazy? I'm going to stash this away in my favs :)

Thanks so much !
I was using the zoom lens on this one, I was probably 25 feet away from it when I snapped the picture.

Magic, a great shot,

Fantastic pic Jerrie....I love the butterflies...you could make a great calendar with all your butterfly pics!

Thanks, glad you like it ! I think the color is a little washed out in this photo because I was using the zoom lens on an overcast day. But on a dreary day like today, something with a little color to look at is better than nothing, right !....lol

Two beauties... the butterfly and the hibiscus!

Such wonderful clarity for a zoom lens at the distance. What kind of camera do you use?

hanks Lori and Skippy ! It's a Canon PowerShot S3IS. It was a Christmas present form my husband last year. I'm hoping to get a micro zoom lens this year !

this camera has gone on my xmas wish list, but i am not holding my breath

Tell youre a true photographer . Thinking colours a little washed out on a photo most of us would be so proud of. Beautiful series.

I have a Canon too, Flcrazy, and I am never satisfied with it's reds! The pics are fine to other eyes...but I remember what I was seeing when I took the photo...and to me it's not as good as what I saw, so I'm with you there, but have to say this is a FAB photo...deserving of praise...I'm thinking of trying to persuade T to look for a S31S...!!
Pllleeeassse Santa!

I don't know Funkyfuchsia, did it work for you when you was a child...., if so, it might be worth a try...(wink !)
Thanks Bonkers for the reassurance, I guess I'm not very good at accepting compliments. Until I joined GOY, I haven't had very much practice. :-)
Lori, I'm sure you will get your wish, because you are as good as gold...!! You, Bonkers and the rest of the GOY clan, should all make out like bandits this Christmas !....lol

Well i am happy to say i will be getting one for my birthday on New years day, just missed out on xmas,

Excellent FF...., hope you like it as much as I do mine ! Wow, what a special day each year for you. The beginning of a new year and your birthday rolled in to one ! Here's wishing you a Happy Birthday and Happy New Year, Funkyfuchsia, may all your wishes come true !

Many thanks, for that, i think most of them have, I count my blessings,

Congratulations on about to be getting the camera of your dreams! FF

That's gone to my favourites too, great photo.

Thanks Gillian, there's something about butterflies that lightens one's mood.

Happy New Year Flc hope to see many more of your great pics this year
