How did I miss this post? Nice catch, Mike!

On our UK trip, the Isle of Iona was full of wildflowers everywhere. And quit a few flutterbys, but few to photograph. Lots of what would be Cabbage Whites and some Sulphers. Whether the same species as here or functional equivalents, I don't know. In any case, small and just keep fluttering, hardly ever landing.

I did get one larger one, of a species I don't know and haven't as yet looked up. Shot with the long end of the 12-200, it's nonetheless nice to look at.

I've added a closer crop, with various amounts of various sharpenings. Not quite natural, but certainly more detail, giving some idea of how it really looks up close. 🙂 <https://photos.app.goo.gl/HY1XWDvi5izUVc1o6>

Went to Horn Pond "Mtn" again to search for Juniper Hairstreaks and they did cooperate.  I had a new TTL macro flash but only needed it on occasion and I inadvertently overdid it at times. I was accustomed to using the T32 in auto mode with a ND filter so it could quench in time, but it got fooled as to proper exposure for fill too often with the wider FOV.   No flash required in this shot as the sun was on it.  I avoided the chiggers that hang out there this time.
Still chasing 'em,  Mike

Nice capture. What lens did you use?
