One of the very nicest butterfly photos I've seen Dick. Just enough motion and a well chosen DoF. Well done.

Fantastic image Dick! This needs to be for sale in a local gallery! Love the fact that it was taken in Cades Cove, yet a wonderful contrast to the images that are "typical" photos associated with the area. Thistles are one of my favorite subjects & you have a fantastic one of a kind shot here! Congrats on your POTD! Sherri... Hey, are the leaves turning already in CC? Haven't had time to get down there lately...
