One of my most interesting ways I observe color is on butterflies, and moths. And, the color is in the details - I look closely. I study the scales. I study the body. But, I also have to be quick, or the color will flutter away.
I stand by a flowering plant on a sunny day and keep still. And, certainly within short order, I will be rewarded with the arrival of a butterfly, or more. Then, getting as close as possible with camera in hand, I click the shutter - if I am lucky, I get a 'keeper' photo. I have deleted many a picture with my subject blurred or one vacated by said subject.
The warmer the day, the more butterflies I observe.
Now, that fall has arrived; the butterflies are scarce, a bit wing-worn, but still enchanting. Soon, they will be gone.
The season of the butterfly is ending; but, like all seasons, will return.
