Don't ever give up.
Don't ever give in.
Don't ever stop trying.
Don't ever sell out.
And if you find yourself succumbing to one of the above for a brief moment,
pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer, and start where you left off. But never, ever, ever give up.
~ Richelle E. Goodrich
I have spent hours and hours and hours trying to capture butterflies in flight. This is the result of one of my outings. I was shooting into the sunlight - so it is not a great pic. I haven't seen many Fritillary butterflies so it was Very Special to me to capture this.
All three images are the SAME image - just cropped 3 different ways. I wanted to show you how lovely he is up close - and progress out to show you the entire scene as I saw it.
