Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah

Made a friend yesterday morning during my walk with Txo, this beautiful butterfly was on the footpath when my dog started sniffing him, I bent down and it climbed on my finger and came for a walk halfway around the block before flying off...

Anyone care to guess what I used to take the photograph?

An iPhone 4s!

Thanks Bart! In this case I held it about 10-15cm away from the butterfly, no zoom just needed to tap the screen to focus on the subject rather than the background, personally I was stunned by the result.
