Master of Camouflage, The Red Admiral Butterfly , Lake Seminole Park, FL

When ever I see a butterfly, I have to follow it and take pictures. The erratic way they
flutter about, their beauty, variety of shapes and colors. The perfect subject for
photography.

The Red Admiral butterfly is found everywhere in the world. The only place they do not
do well is were the winters are especially cold. I find them fascinating because one side is
these beautiful colors, the other perfectly matches the pine trees. Follow one and they
disappear like Houdini.

Lake Seminole park. The bottom photograph is just seconds before he decided to hide
from lens...
