5. Butterflies And/Or Bees

When visiting a friend the other day, a set of colorful paintings she has hanging on the wall caught my eye and one of our challenge themes flashed through my mind. Without a second thought, I decided this was it. No macro lens or tripod was necessary to capture a live butterfly or bee, hoping it would remain still long enough to snap off a few photographs. There was no fluttering of wings with these bright, fun butterflies; they stayed perfectly and politely motionless.
