Jazebel Butterfly

I ventured into the woods keeping in mind to capture birds, but unfortunately there were only few birds that too far away, I waited patiently to get at least one or two good shots of the birds but did not succeed, I thought to myself that its a bad day for me and was about to return home half heartedly,
when suddenly my eyes went on this little colorful butterfly wondering about, I then slowly followed it in the direction where it
was moving and I steadily followed it, but to my fate this butterfly was hardly resting on the plants and was giving me a tough time, and it’s nearly impossible to predict where and when they will move, and this will test your patience, as I still continued to move slowly and patiently.... then this cute little butterfly finally rested on the tiny flower. By the way I did not have my macro lens but I was able to get close with my 250 mm lens that I had and as I began to focus on this butterfly there were some leaves in the foreground as an obstacle then I almost bent down and knelt to get away from those leaves and continued to focus but for my luck
the butterfly continued to rest, and in that decisive moment I took the shot.

But keep in mind that extreme close ups can only be achieved with a macro lens, Always be sure to use a tripod to keep the camera steady, and wait for the butterfly to land and then go ahead with the shot.
