Wonderful close-up Keith.

Thank you so much Jaap............I'm happy you like it.

Brilliant quality Keith.. particularly on close up,,... I suppose they may be scarce as sadly they'll get snaffled up by birds as soon as they come out,.. // Keep well youth, and Cheers'' from Dj.

Many thanks David...........I was really pleased to get this shot...........but I haven't yet seen anymore in the garden. I'm hoping they'll arrive once my buddleia bushes start flowering.

Wow,diese Details und Schärfe sind einfach perfekt lieber Keith,das ist schön,dass der erste Schmetterling dir gleich so toll protraitiert hat,sehr schön hat er sich ins richtige Licht begeben,gratulier dir zu dieser tollen Nahaufnahme,ich merke heuer noch weniger Schmetterlinge als voriges Jahr lieber Keith,das hat die letzten Jahre immer mehr nachgelassen ,dabei sind sie so schöne Modele :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

My thanks as always for your generous comments Güni............hopefully there will be more butterfly shots in due course (if I ever see any). I'm hoping my buddliea bushes will attract some more when they start flowering.

A super close up Keith with superb detail. I also haven't seen many butterflies yet. Hopefully once the buddleia flowers it will attract some. The cabbage white is not the most welcome of them, but their markings that camouflage them so effectively are quite beautiful.

Ha, ha..........we're obviously both thinking along the right lines Rosa.........as I've just said pretty much the same to David and Guni ;-))

Glad you like this one and thanks as always for commenting...........I don't mind the cabbage whites as we're not growing any fruit or veg at the moment!

Another fine close-up, Keith ! Love the colors very much !

wonderful..........

Brilliant photo of this cabbage white, I wonder why gardeners dislike them so much. I hope you manage to find more butterflies in your garden, now that summer's virtually here. I have noticed butterflies flitting around my garden, doing their dances.

Jolie macro de ce papillon qui se font rare chez moi également!

Perfect camouflage, Keith

Nice and sharp, a master of deception !

A matching pair! Beautifully captured!
