Default Gossamer Wings Part II

I hope I'm not overdoing things and all my DPS friends will indulge me as I post some more butterfly pictures. When I looked over all my shots from the other night, I felt like some of them might be deserving of another post....

Thanks for your indulgence! Hope you enjoy!

i never get tired of good images.. no matter if they are all butterflies.. as long as it is good pictures.. and this is for sure.. the third one is just amazing. i like the DoF and the colors..
the second one is really nice too because you have all those colors.. but your eyes are still attracted by that butterfly..
