I had just finished taking several shots of the pollinators in the azalea when out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash of orange. As I turned in the direction of the orange movement, I saw this Red Admiral Butterfly - first one I've seen. And this one was moving away. I was calm enough to select "C-3" on the mode dial. C-3 is a preprogrammed technique for fast exposure, max sensor sensitivity at an ISO flirting at the edge of Quantum Mottle. C-3 saved the day, for this was the only shot I got. The near wing tip is a little soft. I like this species alternating B&W segmented antennae - look like Q-tips gone terribly mad... Bob
