Seeing Eye To Eye - a photo on Flickriver

Seeing Eye To Eye

            It's not often I can get shots of butterflies that actually show off their amazing eyes.  Usually, I have to bend way over (as in get down on my knees) to get any shots of them, and they rarely "look up" when I want them to.

However, the flowerbeds in the Children's Garden at Dauset Trails are raised beds, raised high enough you can actually sit on the ledges that surround them.  That offers a great vantage point, where you don't have to be a contortionist and get down on the ground to grab shots.  If anything, sometimes you might have to stand on your toes to see the flowers that grow so tall they tower over you.

Thankfully, this Gulf Fritillary landed on an easily accessible flower,  so all I had to do was sit and shoot, hoping it would point itself in the right direction - and it did!
