I'm an amateur butterfly enthusiast. Mostly, these are not rare, nor exotic butterflies, just common examples. I'm also a beginning macro photographer learning how difficult it truly is to get crisp, well composed pictures of these beautiful creatures. I'll get better with experience. In the mean time I hope you enjoy these pictures and forgive the flaws. Much of the fun is in the sharing. Start by following the links to the left. Click on any of the thumbnails for a larger view of the pictures.
