I was reasonably pleased with my photograph of the Small White butterfly that I posted recently. But, this shot, taken as we walked by the River Wye, is much better. Both were taken in slight wind and required several shots taken at the most opportune moment. What distinguishes the more recent photograph is the background: it is less distracting and the colours complement those of the main subject much better. We are currently trying to identify the flower that the Small White is feeding on. It seems to be a wild or escaped cultivated aster of some sort.
