A white butterfly fluttered through a patch of purple wildflowers, never staying still for more than a second.
I tried to capture it with my camera and succeeded a few times, while in others, only the blur of its wings remained.
A flash of white among the wildflowers was all I had to follow.
Now you see me… now you don’t.
Sometimes the chase is just as rewarding as the photograph itself.
En rolig lek ibland och din gav fint resultat. Numera tröttnar jag ofta och går vidare, särskilt om jag går i högt gräs, då är chansen mindre att lyckas. Grattis till din fångst!
Tack, det händer att även jag tröttnar, ganska ofta faktiskt.
A good outcome for a butterfly chase Anita. The flowers look like a Salvia? The last photo did make the chase worthwhile
Thanks, Brian! Yes, the chase was worth it in the end. And the flowers do look a bit like salvia at first glance — though I think this one is a wild vetch. The ones in my garden are more purple, but very similar.
Thanks for that information Anita. So many flowers look similar I agree.
I only liked chasing them if I captured a decent shot in the end, otherwise it was extremely frustrating! So well done for sticking to your task and getting those photos. 👍👍😊
Thanks, Mike! Yes, I know exactly what you mean, it’s a test of patience. But when it finally works, it’s worth every attempt.
Chasing butterflies is fun, especially when you are able to capture a good shot of them. These are beautiful.
Thank you so much for your kind comment Beth.
