Closed Theme Butterflies...

[Shan]

The Story of Love is a common story I ❤ to illustrate in the natural world...when you come across it, it stops you dead and you marvel at the beauty of it all. Viceroys (Limenitis archippus) a happy couple. High Falls Conservation Area, Casselman, Ontario, Canada. On FaceBook I am most commonly labelled as a Visual storyteller. And I like that!

Greg there is one simple trick you can do with any phone , get as close as possible, touch and hold your screen for a moment , it will lock your focus and then from this point just zoom in with 2 fingers , now press and take your picture , very simple and effective
