Learning patience.......

Beautiful Butterfly 

Originally uploaded by YvonneSherry

I've recently returned from two weeks in Mexico, and although I didn't dedicate much time to photography, I was fascinated by the wildlife around the hotel complex.

Admittedly, to date, my 'wildlife' photography has been a little short of the 'wild' bit, having frequented zoos, wildlife centres and other ready made animal spots. This meant that I haven't learned the patience that many other photographers do. Trying to photograph butterflies required a lot more persistence than I thought, but I'm pleased with the result.

I saw at least 10 different types of butterfly, but unfortunately many of the types didn't seem to settle for more than a split second, making a clear shot almost impossible. This particular butterfly was quite accommodating and the iguanas, crabs and lizards were also easier to snap.

All my photos from Mexico can be found here.
