Description
A Brimstone butterfly sits on a thistle flower in the summer sunshine. These wonderful bright yellow butterflies are usually the first to appear in the spring or at least the first ones that I notice. When in flight, they have a remarkable strong yellow colour, but as I soon found out when I tried to photograph one, they have a much paler underside to their wings. That is of course the side which shows when they close their wings and when they feed they seem to always close have their wings closed. The only way I could get a good shot showing the stronger colour was to catch the butterfly when it was backlit by the sun. What a beauty!
