I was walking around our property, macro in hand, when I saw a butterfly with orange tipped wings. I have never seen one before, so I knew I had to try and get some photos of this beauty. I wasn't having much luck, it wasn't landing too often, so I took some time and did a quick search to find out what this butterfly was called, which is in fact, an Orange-tip Butterfly. I was determined, so I saw a large patch of dandelions and waited around, eventually, another butterfly landed nearby!
