Weekly Photo Challenge: FREE SPIRIT
“Just living is not enough,” said the butterfly, “one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.” ~Hans Christian Andersen
While I was chasing butterflies in the mountains, I remembered this song from the French movie Le Papillon (2002). Give it a listen

It’s a very colorful little creature and a perfect subject, my only critique is that it’s slightly out of focus.

I know… the bugger would not stop flickering, and there is only so much that a powershot can do, but still it is my first captured butterfly ever 😀

That’s the problem with these free spirits: sometimes they refuse to sit still and smile, even if a photographer comes around.

I appreciate it Madhu 🙂 If I hadn’t liked it, I would never have posted it, even for the challenge sake 😉 Thank you for taking time to look at my pics. I am having some unusually hard days (work and health issues), but I want you to know that I will be looking at your posts once I have managed to catch some breath.
