I have been out and about with a friend and my cameras. So refreshing to look around and see small and colorful things in nature to photograph. The Painted Lady Butterfly was on the ground. It was just one of many in a butterfly tent. The colors and unique patterns on these are fun to shoot. We had to be very careful while walking. Then we saw flowers, cacti, rocks, and more.
