Hi ... chased this poor butterfly around my front garden yday for a few pics before it tired of me - gorgeous things they are.
Last shot of Easter campfire with Full Moon rising - lots of fun!!

Lovely pic's Liz,

The colours and structure are really eye catching. The fire on the beach makes me jealous. That is one of the things we miss out on, living so far inland.

Cheers

Hi Liz

What a gorgeous specimen! The fluoro green flashes and the strong reds and yellows contrast quite brilliantly with the blacks – lovely shots!

Cheers

Thanks guys ... ooh, you snuck in before I posted jjj.... for kind comments :)

Yes Chris, the plain female drifted by just before, but didnt stop at the flowers.

Just saw a Ulysses down at the beach but they are quick movers .. very hard to get a shot of, but are that irridescent blue - gorgeous.
