Rare opportunity

One of the most unexpected and rare things that can happen to me in my daily life as an amateur photographer, fascinated by both nature and photography in general, is when I get the opportunity to photograph a butterfly.
I don't see an opportunity just like that. Some butterfly gives it to me.
Yes, I know I often talk about it in my posts here and often show butterflies. But that's because it's one of the most challenging things to photograph that challenges me almost every day during the warm seasons.
It's because I have a kind of personal argument with these particular insects in the garden like "do you respect me or you don't respect me" 😄, which means "today will you let me take a picture of you or not".
Well, although it is rare, it does happen. And here is the result. And I say here that this is not the only such case, and I will have more such posts - successful or not, with the most diverse types of butterflies.
Well, who doesn't like butterflies? 🤭 So I hope you will like them too.
(I am showing the photos in the order they were taken.)

Hive.jpgSoul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.

Thank you! I hope you don't mean the butterflies, as they are still very common and you can (I hope) see them everywhere.

Unfortunately, we see less and less butterflies as well as bees in my country because of the pesticides used on a large scale in industrial agriculture.

That's pretty sad. I knew about the bees, but never thought of butterflies 😥 It makes sense since they are also pollinators and are such fragile animals.

Those shots are really nicely done. Keep up the good work!

Thank you! 😊

This is lovely

It is really hard to photograph a flying butterfly. You did a nice job.

Indeed, they are hard to photograph but sometimes they decide to pose for us, hehehe. I think you did good job here! :)

When you say "pose" I immediately imagined the butterfly as a model lifting a leg behind the head or a leg up to pose. 😂 They are definitely some capricious models.
Thank you!
