American Lady Butterfly
As in all wildlife photography its best to wait until critters come to you. I sat down in my back yard next to a patch of Seaside Daisies and waited, not long, for this American Lady butterfly to land and drink nectar. They turn a full circle on each flower so I initially focused manually on its hind end; then captured this shot as it spun to face me. Shot with an antique Micro-Nikkor 105mm lens, most likely at F/5.6.
