Barbara (or Brander, if you're a Forum regular) always has her camera ready and the next few photos should teach us all that lesson. You have to be amazed at how nonchalant butterflies can be. They're not really fast movers, yet they are one of the few creatures that doesn't run when a human approaches. Maybe they know how beautiful they are.
