Columbus, Ohio Photographer: Backyard Beauty - Butterfly

I was inspired to do a "just for fun" post tonight. I've been working on finishing up wedding images this week, so thought I'd take a minute to post something I've always enjoyed - nature photos. I was out working in my yard, dead-heading my rose bushes when my neighbor called me over to see the GIANT butterfly on her butterfly bush. She was trying to get a good picture, so I volunteered to bring my zoom lens over. The butterfly seemed to like the attention and posed for me. Here are a few favorites! Such a beautiful sight in our own backyard. Enjoy!
