Butterfly on Yellow Flowers - a photo on Flickriver

            Most butterflies are skittish and difficult to approach, flying away at the first hint of movement. This unusual butterfly was comfortable in my presence and allowed me to follow it around the meadow until I got close enough to shoot macros, as it enjoyed the sweet nectar in the tiny yellow flowers.
