The Lovely Painted Lady

Yay! This was taken with the new telephoto lens for my Panasonic camera. I was so happy when this little butterfly happened along. He or she was terribly camera shy. Every time I leaned over the porch railing, off it would hightail! But, luckily for me, it came back and spent the better part of the day in my bushes, giving me lots of opportunities for photographs!

All in all, I am pretty happy with the new lens!

just wish I would have cut off the dead stems on that bush.......
