Tuesday afternoon about 5pm, this beautiful black butterfly landed on our undercover clothes line.It didn't want any help to move on & it was out of Gandalfs' reach,he had a go at chasing it.Next morning it was still there,touched it thinking it might be dead,thankfully it flew away.

Beautiful nature How pretty !!

You've done a great job of capturing this memory at the right time :)

The flash took away some of the black away, only some white spots.

You have taken the most beautiful picture. The coloring of the under wings is amazing.
