This metallic glass print captures a Caper White Butterfly poised on a fresh Lantana bloom, its lemon and charcoal wings lit against soft, circular bokeh. A single green stem arcs through the frame, leading the eye to the butterfly sipping delicately at the flower. The gentle blur behind makes the colours feel luminous, giving this metallic glass print a calm, almost weightless presence.
Photographed along the banks of Broken River in Eungella National Park, this moment brings together two familiar sights in Queensland bushland. The Caper White is known for striking seasonal movements across Australia, often appearing in great numbers when native caper shrubs are in leaf. Lantana, by contrast, is a hardy ornamental turned invasive, yet its nectar still draws pollinators. In this scene the meeting is brief, precise, and quietly captivating.
What I love most about this metallic glass print is how the butterfly’s beautiful wings stand out, their clean bands and warm yellow tones echoed by the vivid pinks and oranges of the Lantana. The colour pairing feels joyful without being loud, and the soft background keeps the focus on the tiny encounter at the flower’s crown. Together they create a stunning, intimate study of colour, form, and stillness.
