Hello my nature-friends,
today is the first day with temperature more that 10°C and I'm happy when I feel the warming sun on my face and see the snow melting.
Finally it seems that spring is not far - so I looked at my summer shots for a shot with fresh colours.

Here we have the Queen of Spain Fritillary (Issoria lathonia) kleiner Perlmutterfalter.
It is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family.

Thanks for looking and enjoy the weekend ...

Hallo Sabine
The details on this butterfly is unbelieveably beautiful. The wings look as if they where painted by hand and the details is very delicate and soft to the eye. A perfect close-up with super sharp focus. I think the framing on this is excellent and the exposure is just great. I am really stunt by its beauty. Congratulations, this is a MAGIC image. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards.

Great shot of the Queen of Spain Fritillary, and thanks for the nice reminder of Summer too!

Beautiful, colorful image. Perfect sharpness, great natural colors and nice not distubing background. I am wondering about the composition here, maybe it is a little bit to center

Hi Sabine,

We are ahead of you in the spring department. Summer always comes to fast in the desert and then we wish for the cold we complained about for a few months! This Queen of Spain Fritillary is absolutely beautiful with wonderful colors and razor sharp details. Lovely pose on the pretty flower. The setting and composition are superb.

Wishnu, This is so beautiful and what a lovely design. Looks like indian sarees copied the design from this butterfly. Superb one TFS Ganesh

Hallo Sabine!

Dein Bild weckt nun wirklich den Wunsch nach Wärme und Farbenpracht, auch wenn ich sehr am Winter hänge. Du hast Dir und uns sicher Freude bzw. Vorfreude bereitet. Die Farben sind prächtig, beide Sujets - der Schmetterling und die Blume - ergänzen sich bestens.

Liebe Grüsse

Markus

Liebe Sabine,
Du verbreitest Freude mit dem gelungenen Sommerbild. Und Du sprichtst von Frühling. Bei uns gibt es noch letzte Schneereste im Garten, seit November lag kontinuierlich Schnee, also schliesse ich mich Deiner Bewegung gleich an.

Ichdanke Dir für die freundlichen Worte zu meinem Erstlingsbild mit der Kompaktkamera (ich finde Makro schwierig mit diesen kleinen Dingern).

herzlich grüsst Dich
Dieter
