a morning at Hebbal lake
By mistake I managed to wake up early, and then acted on a sudden brilliant idea to go to Hebbal Lake to catch the sunrise.
This beauty was basking in the morning light, and I managed to take the picture without any disturbance. I thought parthenium was a completely useless weed, but looks like its actually providing breakfast for this fellow.

It is a beautiful picture, captured well. Good composure and focal plane, though only a more detailed picture can really reveal that What makes it lovelier still is that it is backlit.
Thank you nandita. A higher resolution image is on Flickr.
This is a fantastic shot!!
Beauty of nature, as a whole is incorporated in a butterfly, and that butterfly is captured here in such a way that its beauty is visible as a whole.
Thanks for sharing!!

Beautiful capture Sajnay…
Whow..amazing shot ! When I take shots….I get everything but the bee or a butterfly… 🙁
thanks all
bendtherulz, butterflies are pretty tricky to photograph – one way is to avoid the shadow falling on them while approaching them, or to anticipate where they’re going to land and be prepared at that place in advance 🙂
hope u post a good picture here if u manage one sometime!
You kidding…well I have one pic…however the butterfly is quite mousy looking…yikes I should not be partial…am being very rationalist… 😯
