Missing piece doesn't mean a thing........


I am just standing by the pear tree and was admiring how well the coneflowers were doing that were near the tree.  I saw this guy coming my way, but I didn't dream that I could get him in my viewfinder. He was hungry and he stayed in position for me for quite awhile.  I was blessed.  A broken part of the wing makes him a special guy in my book.

Aren't they beautiful? I'm so happy the butterfly could fly with a piece missing from it's wing.

He is special, he is a survivor, he is broken yet beautiful.

Great shot. I love your header picture too.

Have a great weekend ~ FlowerLady

We wanted to shot the cone flower. The butterfly wanted to be on the photo.
How will you eat your pears ?

You got a great photo of this poor butterfly with a limp! A bit broken and still a star!

Butterflies are annoyingly difficult to photograph, I find. So colourful, despite the broken wing.

They are really hard to photograph..butterflies drive me nuts..well maybe more nuts..I read a blog earlier today she sliced a banana lengthwise and it attracted a butterfly.. I figure that is what I will have to do..feed them:)
