Painted Lady
Photo By Thomas Herriman

Title: Painted Lady
State/Province/Region: Maryland
Country: United States
Nearest Area: Ann Marie Garden
Nearest Town: Solomons
Notes: Camera and settings: Canon EOS 60D EFS 70-300 @ 300mm f/7.1, 1/400s, ISO 400 Hand held.
Description: Any season is a good season to visit Ann Marie Garden. Filled with art, nature, and people enjoying what they see, it is a small but growing treasure in my local area. There is a wonderful bed of flowers just outside their main building and when I visited on a hot muggy Monday afternoon in July, this bed was buzzing with beautiful bugs. This Painted Lady, Vanessa cardui, was simply exquisite! It watched me very carefully as if I were an intrusive paparazzi. I was forced to step away and use my long zoom to capture it.
Gear: Canon EOS 60D
