For me, a butterfly garden is a great place to take a break, marvel and, of course, take beautiful photos's. There is something magical about all those butterflies meekly flying around you. I think butterflies are a gift from nature: their shapes, colours, way of moving and their life cycle. The wonder I feel takes me back to my childhood for a moment.
Meanwhile, I try to photograph the butterflies without getting too close, without disturbing them too much. After 15 minutes, I have already taken over 80 pictures's, half of which the butterfly just flies out of frame. This is top sport! I decide to take a break and sit on a bench. Suddenly, one flies in my direction and takes a seat on the leaf next to me with its wings closed. The moment I very carefully raise my camera, it unfolds its wings on the leaf. See for yourself: a present.
