Butterflies


These were taken in February 2013 as the rainy season in Kitwe had just ended.





I arrived back to a garden a little overgrown with metre-high zinnias, thriving cosmos, giant marigold bushes and of course...





...loads of these happy little guys. I'd never seen so many butterflies in a garden before.






Many merry days of chasing after butterflies with my camera ensued...






...especially after these swift and elusive little beauties. These big black butterflies hardly pause for a heartbeat on a flower before they zoot on to the next garden. Talk about camera-shy!






A more obliging specimen.
