Taken at Winterthur last weekend, this was the first butterfly of the season and the first blooming dogwood of the season. It was great to be able to capture them together!
Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. "Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything."Psalm 46:8-10
I am on vacation for a few days and will not be able to comment on your pictures - thanks for stopping by and I will try to catch up when I get back. I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.
I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!

@Betty: Thank you - I was suprised to see a butterfly so early in the spring, but enjoyed his color.
Gorgeous! I have yet to see a butterfly yet, or a blooming dogwood for that matter, but I am hopeful. I even have my hummer feeder out already! One can hope, right?

@Tracey: Hope is a good thing - and we know that Spring will come (although we may want it sooner than it happens). But before we know it summer will arrive!!
beautiful shot!
