Location
This was taken on our farm. I live on a small farm and often walk around with camera in hand or have it nearby when I am outside with our animals. On the day this photo was taken I noticed several butterflies enjoying their day on some wild flowers.Time

I love taking photo's of butterflies! They are so beautiful, unique, uplifting, and calmingEditing
I do not have a professional photo processing program. I simply edit through windows live photo gallery. I typically adjust the contrast, highlights, and shadows until I like it.In my camera bag

Photograph things you like to look at, study, or things that relax you. Be comfortable as you watch the subject through the lens. When it presents itself the way you picture it in your mind you will have a photo you will enjoy every time you see it.
