“Butterfly Kisses”

© 2013 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

I finally got free enough to go out for a hike for an hour or two and to shoot a little. I hung out for a few minutes near this flowering patch to capture the play of these tiny (about the size of a quarter) little butterflies as they flitted about. The low angle and compression of the long lens produced a lovely dream world – the perfect place for a butterfly to hang out.
