Macro Monday - Zinnia magic

It was difficult to get shots for this macro monday due to intense heat here. However i managed to get a few shots. Until the weather cools down a bit when monsoon starts, plants will be in stress specially the ones on my terrace. Please do visit other blogs for more macro monday shots. Here is the link to Lisa's beautiful chaos http://lisaschaos.com/


Not sure which butterfly it is but it was intense heat out there. Very fast moving butterfly though.

    Lovely orange zinnias. Luckily zinnias LOVE the heat. :(

    Heat helps them grow big, right?
    Then I need some of that.

    It's very difficult to capture butterflies, you've done a great job here. There are many little critters out and about today. Great shots.

    What a good shot, I can never catch wildlife on camera - if only it would stay still! Your zinnias are a beautiful colour.
