Couldn't resist. Dianne inspired me with her Project Green butterflies yesterday. I had to dig out a few of my butterfly pictures. I just love butterflies! When I was younger and faster on the draw, I was able to capture some of them on film. (Yes, we used film in those days.) So here are a few.
The first is a dia
na that I spotted in Leaming's Run Gardens.Then there is a longtailed skipper (and friend) that was sitting on a zinnia over at the Wetlands Institute.
The little cabbage white was flitting around
near Hereford Inlet Lighthouse.
I'm not sure what t
his one is. But isn't it pretty?And the next one is a painted lady.
The tiger swallowtail is one of my favorites.
Have you ever seen Monarchs, exhausted from their migration, sleeping on a tree limb? These are not leaves, they are sleeping butterflies.
And of course, the monarchs, by day.
They are all so beautiful! I have dozens of pictures. But there is no such thing as a picture that can truly capture the thrill it gives me to watch the flying flowers.
