    Hey I just rescued a caterpillar thinking it was on its way to becoming a beautiful huge Red Moth (because :( one has just died in my flat ) came in to check the POTD - and look what I found! What beauty, what happenstance, the natural balance of colour, the clarity of your focus - even the cobweb in the background - a reminder that life goes on, yes indeedy : ) Thank you.

  3. Katherine Lee Strassburg Says:

    This is proof positive that ‘less is more’! The natural muted colors are wonderful–no need for glitz. This is a wonderful potd, and especially meaningful for me today. Thanks for just the spot of beauty I needed!

  4. Ellee Says:

    Oh Wow! True, less is more until you look at the spectacular splendor of that butterfly. Nice capture!

  5. Anurag Anurag Says:

    great shot indeed especially the DOF. very green but at least the butterfly grabs all the attention. The web is a hidden detail, i like it.

    What a beautiful butterfly; I love the colors, they show God’s artistry.

    The overall green tone makes the subtle blue in the wings stand out. So incredibly beautiful.

    Great shot. Makes me want to tag along on my

    Captures the frailty and delicate nature of the butterfly. Love those hues of green and the way the light seems to outline the wings. Congratulations!!
