Description
This is one of my very favorite butterflies...the American Painted Lady. Many times they are a fainter color than this, but sometimes a really bright and stunning one will flutter into my garden! This was truly one of those butterflies! This was taken in my Ohio garden and is very much as shot.
(update 2017) This image was one of the first of my 'hobby' of photographing butterflies and it is still one of my all-time favorites. I really was lucky that it was such an incredibly beautiful American Painted Lady and also that the background completely faded away giving this a simple feel. Through the years I am always looking for butterflies and am finding them much fewer in numbers which saddens me greatly! They are such a lovely touch of love floating through a day trying to put smiles on anyone who will take a moment and pause to enjoy them!
Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
