Wow, Wow, Wow, Great shot. It looks so inviting.

That Malachite is gorgeous from the side view, certainly looks different from the top side. Softer shade of green. I love this shot.

Is there a secret language you use to get them to land on color coordinated flowers?? LOL Another absolutely gorgeous shot. Love it, hugs, Bonnie

said grma_of6 2007.06.16 at 09:37:57 PDT

What a beautiful butterfly, i have never had an opportunity to capture one...lovely

said loriarnold101 2007.06.16 at 00:41:53 PDT

Something nice again. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

said anttisarki 2007.06.15 at 23:49:11 PDT

I think this is one of the prettiest butterflys...so that's what its called...Malachite...a nice catch on this one too.

said kellimays 2007.06.15 at 23:12:39 PDT

This one just screams exotic, the plant, blossoms and the butterfly. Again, Sharon, a perfect composition, with such cool colors, I want this one too, but I can't download all of them. (sigh) Greetings and big hugs from, OKLAHOMA. Susie

said segseven 2007.06.15 at 21:30:10 PDT

Incredible shot!!!!

said hamiltrudy1 2007.06.15 at 20:35:26 PDT

They certainly are! Wonderful photo.

said velcrogirl 2007.06.15 at 17:40:02 PDT

I've heard of Shrimp Boats (thanks to Jo Stafford) but never Shrimp Plants. And neither have I heard of Malachites. Your photo is not only visually very pleasing it is also an educational experience! Thanks mate!!

said georgieboy98 2007.06.15 at 17:34:22 PDT

What a marvelous pattern! Gorgeous!

said olditaliantree 2007.06.15 at 16:48:44 PDT

Hi Sharon, wow I thought that also you with these photos could make hypnosis.Very beautiful and I am enjoying her to me all these butterflies of many colored colors. They are stupendous and marvelous. Compliments. Thank you for sharing. Giancarlo-Italy

Spectacular image, Sharon! I don't know if I've ever seen a white butterfly. The butterfly and the plant are both gorgeous!

indeed! Sure wish that we had one of these 'butterfly' houses nearby.

said bearfolk 2007.06.15 at 04:30:16 PDT

This is a fantastic butterfly so beautifully coloured..Sandra

said sandrajacktrips 2007.06.15 at 03:44:32 PDT

OK - I need to ask - do you sit for hours in a likely spot to capture a shot like this??

said coni_fer01 2007.06.15 at 03:37:25 PDT

Wow another beautifful butterfly this is great

said thewise000 2007.06.14 at 19:58:20 PDT

Eye candy is right! The designs of these butterflies are miraculous to me. Butterflies and flowers are a perfect combination--and that's not just my opinion--Mother Nature thinks so, too!
