The Butterfly Series | Ascension Path

... obliged, but weightless and now, 
too pretty for this scene.

Day 8: Submitted the first ap; starting another cover letter.

The Butterfly Series | Still Life

I think the only reason I was able to get so close is because the butterfly was too scared to move; it stayed in place for a good 20 minutes while I took shots from every possible angle and distance. This shot was selected because I liked the simplicity of the colors and how the subject appears to be resting on a leaf when it's actually on glass.

The Butterfly Series | Pensive Release

Suddenly reflective

as an era quickly 

comes to an end.

The Butterfly Series | Flutter in Flight

This time, I am a willing spectator

free to flutter away at my chosen moment.

The Butterfly Series | On the Horizon

New days are on the way

I can't wait to meet them.

The Butterfly Series | Do you know how hard it was for me to get this shot?

I think I spent about an hour chasing this butterfly around while I was hanging out in my greenhouse; I was trying to get the perfect silhouette and it happened to be right when it floated against the glass of greenhouse ceiling (hence the little specks I chose not to edit out). This will be the first in a series of I don't know how many.

Oh, and this one was like, the 80th shot or something so you know--you better love it.
