When I was there, I remember rocks, rocks and more rocks....I think I saw some butterflies however on our hike up to En Gedi where there was water and foilage. Nice job catching it before it flew off. I can't get ours to stop at all and they are quick!

Very nicely done, so clear and well focused. I can even see spots on its eyes and the yellow tips on the antennae. Very enjoyable!

You remember correctly. So much for the land of milk and honey!
Thanks for your encouraging comments.
I think the trick is not to chase them but to stand still and ready and wait until the butterly settles for a second, focus and CLICK!

Godd luck!

Thanks Mike. I'm very glad you like them. I still remember yours and I'm hoping to see more, because they were awesome!

Thanks for your kind words, Leona. It was not an easy shot but I'm glad with the result. I'm happy you like it, too.
