It may not look so by looking at the picture but this butterfly in reality is incredibly beautiful. It has a red patch on its tail but the problem is it hardly ever sits on a leave or a flower. Let us see if I have better luck tomorrow.
These orange flowers are a magnet for butterflies and when Chhavi takes her afternoon nap that is where I can be found, heat notwithstanding.
PS. There are two trips lined up in October, one vacation and one sort of work!
beautiful pics..have a great trip..where are you off to ?
I have seen the black one around here often… its really beautiful, and so is the orange one.. so where are u off to, on work and fun??
you are very lucky, i seldom find butterflies where i live. beautiful!
Very colorful. Good one.
Colour coordinated butterflies.. 😀
How many pics do you have to shoot until you get those picture perfect ones?
Fida 😀 Way too many. But the second butterfly is not that difficult to shoot as it spreads the wing for a fraction of a second enough to click a pictures. others just keep going flutter flutter and even with 100 pics not one turns out with wings open. 😀
For second picture….hatsoff…
Now, if you are courtesying CWG…then why not spent some time in seeing some butterfly strokes :P…stadiums are empty
OMG.. do you live in a garden filled with flowers, plants, butterflies etc for you to take photos of? i want to stay near you!
Thanks Lakshmi, my trip is to Rajasthan and UP.
Anu but they are so restless. I am off to Rajasthan and then UP.
Thanks dave, I have been in the area for the last 6 years but noticed them really for the first time 😀
Thanks Chitra.
Tarun can’t get the tickets, most of them seem to be sold out.
Doli these flowers are in the common park in our area, a very small park but at the moment quite full of butterflies.
