Ode to a Butterfly





Butterfly, oh butterfly, why do you hide in the shadows?
Spread wide your wings, let your heart sing
And come dance with me in the meadow

Butterfly, oh butterfly, why do you fear?
You'll never stray, I'll lead the way
Just follow the path, I'll be near

Butterfly, oh butterfly, have you no hope?
Drink of the sun, our life's just begun
Thro time's hills and valleys we'll lope

Butterfly, oh butterfly, dare you to dream?
On our hearts we depend, shall we follow the wind
And consign to the fates grander scheme?

Bravo, Horia.
Excellent scene. It is rare and amazing at the same time. Timing is superb, DOF is fantastic, colours are awesome and sharpness of the flower and both insects are perfect. My compliments and TFS.

Hello Horia,
how you got both butterflies---and one zapping around is pure mastery of the technique! The price to pay is to put the garden flower to the front stage, its color matches poorly with everything else. But don't listen to my bickering, to catch the the Hummingbird- Hawkmoth in full flight by itself is a feat.
My best regards to you
Dietrich

Hello Horias,
so 2 butterflies on one flower and specially the little one beneath are very difficult.
You managed irt well with good pov and details.
fine colours.
