Description “ I am saying something about the ineffable. I am saying something about the ultimate mystery. You can understand it, yet you can never understand it totally. It is elusive, it escapes. It is within reach, but it is not within grasp. You are always coming closer and closer to it, but you never arrive. And the day you arrive, then you are no more there; the distinction between the seeker and the sought disappears. Then you are it. That art thou -- then you are it! ”
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

This butterfly was so darn elusive. Everytime I saw it, before I could get the camera ready, it flew away. I ran around, all day trying to catch it. I went through like 5 cacti and like a bajillion bushes. >_< They hurt! I finally caught up to it though ^___^

This is for my awesome because my nii-chan loves butterflies =3 I vowed that I would find one just for nii-san by this summer~ I did it ^__^ I hope you like it~

I'm sure nii-san will love this. It's beautiful ^^
It's really hard to get a beautiful photo for them, and they don't seem to appreciate it

It's really a lovely shot! ^^

Oh, I know butterflies. Worst natural models ever They make very good pictures though, so we ought to forgive them for their impatience and over-energy.

I love the angle I would`ve loved to see a little bit more of that left wing but I know it wasn`t up to you Great shot
