By now, many butterflies have worn and torn wings…

I really love the ability of a camera to capture beautiful but transitory moments — butterflies are living works of art, and they’re easy to appreciate but hard to really SEE when they’re flitting around.
@cristina: I was leaning towards #4, since it’s fun to see both sides of the wings at once. It’s not easy being a butterfly!
@anelson / @rosemarieGardener: Agreed, and thanks!
