Wild Marigold and Mariposa: A Photo Story

in #photography7 years ago

I went to take some photos of this wild marigold and this butterfly, here called a mariposa, landed on it and went to town feasting on the nectars while letting me take these photos to share with you all.

Here's the flower, just before the butterfly landed.

Very nice. Looks like a brown "skipper" of some kind... which is more like a "daytime moth" than a true butterfly. They can actually be hard to photograph as they tend to be pretty fast fliers... good job!

This one stopped and posed for me. I figured it was a moth but I wasn't sure. Here both moths and butterflies are called mariposas I'm pretty sure.

wow! just awesome with wonderful photography technique
