Wings, Wobbles & a Bit of Luck
Butterflies aren’t exactly the most cooperative subjects — they flap off the second you even think about reaching for the camera.

These little flashes of colour brighten up the garden, the woods, even the random patches of nettles I’ve wandered into. Here’s a collection of those lucky moments where timing (and a bit of zoom) paid off.
