Thank you David and Emanuel, for your words of wisdom, for your love and for your support!
----------------------------------------------------
This is the same butterfly that I posted a few days ago and this is when we found it.
We thought it was ill or at its terminal phase and so we brought it home. In the morning it was happy as could be and this is the moment when its freedom restarted.

Thank you for viewing.

i can't ask for anything better than this for this is superb, Lurdes.

the pov is so great that you captured the butterfly in a lovely perching position, showing its colours and shape like a kite.

very stunning BG of a clear blue sky and the stem the butterfly is perching on is very clear too.

very well done!

So you both brought here home then? She must indeed have been a bit weak to allow that to happen.

Hi Lurdes,

Love the way she is holding on with her tiny legs. Beautiful detail to see that the design on her wings and her body is matching.
Good to hear she regained her strength.

Hi Lurdes ;)
Great POV and colors, TFS

Hello Lurdes,

A home for butterflies seems like a new venture! Whatever you did, certainly worked.

This is a beautiful butterfly and you have shown its exquisite markings and details to perfection. I love its acrobatic stance on the vertical twig!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Interesante imagen digna del Treknature..mi galeria en treknature es Boadella...

Hi Lurdes,
I did not realize butterflies can grasp a twig as shown. This is most pleasant to view. Sharp, details of the butterfly's wings are pronounced and attractive. My compliments...Danilo

interesting Pov and great play of colour
for this beautiful Machaon
well presented,Lurdes

best regards sERGIO

Hi, Lurdes!

Fantastic shot with wonderful colours. Superb!

Ciao Lurdes magnifico ed insolito POV per questa splendida farfalla, molto difficile da riprendere in tutti i dettagli come hai fatto, splendida nitidezza, si staglia superba contro il cielo azzurro, una delle più belle foto di farfalla che io abbia mai visto e, credimi, ne ho viste, e scattate, tante, bravissima, ciao Silvio

Hello SIS!
Well, the colours and butterfly are indeed superb! The insect does seem to be quite strong too…it continued its life’s course – as we must do!
Great capture!
Thanks for sharing,
Esperança

Hi Melo

This is a very good pov.
I think is the first time when I see a butterfly shot in this angle.
I like it very much,the title is also interesting.
