You Capture – Motion
ByThis week flew right past me. We went out of town and the two nights since we’ve arrived home, we were gone both nights, all the while without my camera.
So, when I realized that tonight was You Capture, I thought, uh-oh, I may be in trouble.
Luckily, I took plenty of photos while away this weekend and fell in love with this butterfly. We were best friends.
I see this photo and I wish I could tell you if it was landing or taking off or just sitting and moving it’s wings, but I guess it doesn’t matter, beautiful, nonetheless.
P.S. I was SO PROUD that so many of you participated in last week’s challenge – You – you all did amazing!
It is your turn!
1. You can join in on this challenge at any time! We welcome & love new participants.
2. ONLY SIGN MR. LINKY IF YOU ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTUAL CHALLENGE.
3. Please make sure you are linking directly to your specific You Capture post in Mr. Linky (and not just your site, for instructions, go here) and please make sure you are linking back to this challenge in your post. If you don’t abide by this, your link will be removed. (I know, I’m so mean.)
4. Try your hardest not to reuse a picture from your archives, the goal of You Capture is to get you moving with your camera, get creative! Challenge yourself!
5. Do your best to visit the other participants’ site – everyone loves the traffic, the comments and the feedback (not just you!)
6. And finally, post as many pictures as you want on your post.
I will be deleting links for those that aren’t complying, which is annoying because deleting links is annoying.
Peace.
Happy Capturing!
Oh, I likey next week’s challenge! I took some fun shots tonight that I will try to take a look at in the morning!

Gorgeous butterfly! Especially love the orange on purple. Peace, huh? I’ll have to think about that one! Thanks for the great challenges!
amazing capture – we have been looking and looking for butterflies and can’t seem to find ANY!! My children are so disappointed!
Newbie here…I think this whole idea is just wonderful, and I’m so stoked to be a part of it!
Beautiful butterfly!
Beautiful butterfly! I love how close you are. That’s it. I need a new camera. This point and shoot business is DONE.
Peace. Hmmmm. This WILL be a challenge…
I’m with ya on the week (and possibly the entire summer) flying by. And I love the picture–simply beautiful regardless of the coming, going or fluttering in place.
I love your photos so much. The colors in this one are awesome! Oh and that’s some cool motion too! ; )
Beautiful butterfly wings! With that shallow DoF, it looks like they put the world in motion….
pretty! love the colors! =)
A very beautiful butterfly, indeed!
Gorgeous photo!!!
Having a toddler again reminds me how wonderful (and exciting) it is to watch a butterfly. Great shot!
Amazing shot!!!
That is such a fantastic shot. Now.. how did you do it??
That butterfly is beautiful!
That photo is WAY cool.
Wow! Amazing photo!
What a gorgeous picture! Nothing says motion more than a butterfly and your colors here are amazing.
Oh, I love that shot of the butterfly. Then again, I *LOVE* butterflies.
That’s a beautiful capture
This is so beautiful. Perfect motion on the wings. Love it.
I think that butterfly would work for next week’s challenge, too. I love it!
that is an amazing photo!
too much “motion” in my life right now, I didn’t get my camera out ONE TIME this week…
I LOVE your photo! What cooperative butterfly.
Wow, such a beautiful motions picture! I really liked this theme – very fun!
Beautiful shot! What kind of lens did you use? Was it a macro one? Then again, you probably wouldn’t have been able to get too close w/o it flying away, right?
Wow, that IS in motion. Great shot…OOPS, almost typed shi_! glad I corrected it before sending…
It can be hard to get a good motion shot unless you have a good camera. Great picture! Love that you made friends with the butterfly.
Ok, I played!
Love seeing all the participants. I enjoyed this week very much =)
Beautiful butterfly! And the colors are amazing!
First time participant, and I love this idea! I just wish I more recent pics! Sorry!!
Can I assume that you shoot in manual? I am still learning my camera…and don’t do so good in manual.
The motion is just gorgeous and the colors are amazing!
Can’t wait to come up with something for next week!
I love your capture! You need to put that in your etsy shop. I so want a DSLR.
This week was hard, man. I think Peace will be easier.
(ha, famous last words..)
You never disappoint, Beth!
Very pretty photo!
What a beautiful photo!
I totally forgot about last week’s challenge when my dog went missing as I did take photos. Oh well, I will probably post them because I did have fun taking them.
Love the butterfly photo. When I was out looking for Oscar this Monarch was just flitting here and there and I really wish I would have had my camera in hand to catch it. Thanks so much for hosting this!!
I love the colors! Beautiful!
I so want to do this! I think I have the perfect pic for next week. If only I remember.
I didn’t participate this week (was sick), but I just HAD to comment about this photo anyway. It’s stunning, Beth. The butterfly, the color of the blossoms… everything!
Nell
LOVE IT!! Great shot Beth!
SUH-WEET…wow, I’m a sucker for butterflies!!!
