Did see a few butterflies today as well. This teeny little fella never gave me a look at the upper wing artwork, but was amazed to zoom in close and discover a thin little edging of blue scales.

The detail in butterflies is just astounding to me. I had no idea that was happening right before our eyes.

All these butterfly shots taken with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro, pushed to F2.8 because I love the shallow depth of field.

When I was curating the galleries for that last blog post I kept zooming into this pic to see the blue flecks. Again and again and again. Blue flecks!

How is this magic possible, just flittering about in front of our eyes. And we ignore it every day.

The whole fuzzy jaw vibe is definitely growing on me.

Butterflies with beards (and rings).

These guys have been our constant companions while staying in this patch of forest near Paro. Rain or sunshine, they are flitting about and adding a touch of joy to the landscape.

I wish I'd spent a little more time capturing them now. Instead, I let the fancy ones distract me too often! I have the same problem with donuts.
