Melissa- Good afternoon my friend. I don't think there is anything as amazing and beautiful as the wings of a butterfly. It is definitely on of natures best works.Robert R. Goodman May 19, 2008
Hi Melissa,Beautiful butterfly.I don't think I've ever seen one that.Wonderful macro,great color!!!!! #5948421Melissa Olsen May 20, 2008
Thank you Frank and Bobby and again my thanks to everyone who took the time to comment on this picture. Indeed I don't think there is anything prettier than the wings of a butterfly. It is a challenge to stand still long enough for them to land and wait for them to open their wings...I have as I am sure many of you have...held my breath so as not to create any motion. Totally hard! But when your lucky enough...you get what your eyes see...well almost. LOLJeana Clark May 20, 2008
