19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Hiding among the brush

I had seen a small butterfly flutter around the tall grass of West Texas. I had to sneak up upon the this little butterfly in hopes that they wouldn't fly off and my chance to take pictures of it would have disappeared. Crouching down I was able to quickly snap the butterfly resting before it took off in search for neactur of the sweet yellow blossoms nearby. Im honestly really thankful to have taken that shot and it turning out so well.
