Often when I see beautiful colourful butterflies in other people's blogs here, I used to wonder why those beautiful butterflies do not come to my garden. Although I have seen butterflies in my garden too, but I have never seen this colourful and beautiful one before.
So this happened today in the morning of 13th December, though I don't know whether it would be correct to call 11 o'clock as morning or not.
Till now we were slowly moving towards winter but since this morning cold and strong winds have caused a big drop in temperature due to which both my wife and I woke up late in the morning sneezing. But anyway, even though it was late, as soon as I woke up and went out to enjoy some sunshine, the first thing I did was to look at my carrot grow bag from a distance in the hope that perhaps its seeds would have germinated today. But while looking in that direction, my eyes fell on the lemon plant behind it, on which (as you can see in the images above) something strange and colourful was shining.
If you are my follower then you must know how bad a photographer I am when it comes to taking pictures of birds etc. So I slowly moved towards this butterfly and started taking a picture with every step forward.
As I got closer to it, I tried to take as good pictures as possible, because I felt it would fly away any moment and then I would miss out on taking pictures of its open wings.
Well if you don't know, let me tell you that lemon tree has thorns too, so protecting myself from all of them I went near this butterfly and from its back I tried to take a few pictures of it with its wings open BUT I Didn't Know What To Do so that it spreads its wings while sitting there and gives me enough time to take some great pictures.
Now obviously I don't know their language, so I started shaking the branch on which it was sitting in the hope that it might move to become comfortable and its wings might open. But the butterfly got so disturbed by this action that it flew away from there, but thankfully it flew and sat on the cane stick attached to the carrot grow bag kept in front of that plant. And I felt like 'Thank God!'
And to be honest, I think the direct sunlight after the butterfly landed on the cane stick made the photos look brighter and prettier as if it landed on it just to pose for me. Maybe? :D
And then finally I got the chance to take those pictures of this butterfly with its wings open in which I could clearly see its pattern, all its colours and its beauty. 馃
