Peacock butterfly
While I love symmetry in built structures, I find it even more amazing when it occurs in nature. Last summer was a good one for butterflies in our garden and I spent sometime taking their photographs.
Check out https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/symmetry/ for even more great symmetry examples.

The closer you get, its beauty increases – unlike a painting. The lower ‘circles’ really do look as if they belong to a menacing face. Your photo captures it all.

OMG! What a delicate beauty. How did you manage to get so close to the butterfly?

The photo is cropped a little – so wasn’t quite as close as photo suggests. Still the butterfly was so busy collecting nectar it wasn’t really concerned about me.

that is a great shot of a butterfly…usually when I try to capture a butterfly they flit away too soon…

Happens to me too. I think with the thistle flowers though the butterflies may have to work harder getting their long tongues down into the flower for the nectar so they hang about long enough for me to get a photo:)
