Small Tortoise Shell

Well I know I keep banging on about it, but getting out with my camera at the moment is close to none existent. Work and family are taking up all my time, but won't complain.

So an hour in the garden was well deserved and the next pic is another first for me, not only in my garden, I have never taken a pic of one before.

Here are a couple of photos I managed before it flew away again.


Photos taken with Nikon D70 + Nikkor 28-100mm with x2 macro

Thanks to all who keep commenting and dropping by it is really appreciated.

Until next time..

Mike.

    Sometimes these are such a common butterfly; but always a beauty.
    Cracking shots Mike.
