It's hard work chasing down a butterfly for a photo session...
while I was out in the bush to pick orkras.
I happen to look down and see this lovely creature.

I said, "oh, please...
don't fly away...
let's do get together and have a photo party"
I did the chasing and the butterfly did the teasing...
flitting and landing on a leaf and just as I would get up close...
it flitted away, again.
I'm sure I circled the bush more times than I have fingers...
the butterfly dancing and twisting along through the air...
before landing just long enough for my camera to take a half decent shot.
Only half decent.
Through my dance in the bush in my chase for the elusive creature...
my eyes were distracted by the not-so-elusive beauty of the okra flowers.
I had to take a few photos of those...
just to capture the soft petals as they unfurled.
I'll take any kind of flowers...
only, my camera does them no justice.
I did happen to catch one of our honeybees in it's hunt for nectar...
do you see it below?
Of course...
I like wildflowers, too...
and this one below was no exception and certainly not safe around my camera.
Finally...
a better close-up of my elusive friend.
Gottcha!
Isn't the Lord wonderful?!
May your day, or evening be blessed of the Lord.
