Hallig Gröde - Butterflies and Dragonflies 2

And even more butterflies, which - like me - enjoyed the flowers in the gorgeous rural garden.

Lacking a macro lens, I dared to attach the 2x extender to my 70-200/2.8. This combination allows to fill the frame with the butterflies at the minimum distance of 1.4m. (This picture as well as the previous one is a crop, though.) Image quality is halfway decent, but of course this can't stand against a macro lens.
