Butterfly Gardening
The butterflies this autumn are outstanding in the garden. They are fluttering about from early morning till early evening. Every spot of the garden has butterflies. Sometimes they fly in groups of two, chasing each other about the flowers. Other times they are busy laying eggs on the milkweed. Sometimes I can catch a photo when they bask in the sun, gathering energy. Trying to photograph the butterflies is a challenge since they often flutter about so quickly all you get is a blurry image. The other day I was able to capture many photos so I wanted to share these with you.

loving the photos!!! didn't see much for butterflies here this summer...usually have quite a few. Yours are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. Butterflies have been sparse here this year because of our drought, but I'm seeing a few more now that the weather has moderated a bit.
ReplyDeleteThere may be giants! Your butterflies are lovely. Swallowtails have flown south, but we still have occasional Gulf Frits and Sulphurs and abundant Skippers.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, you have to be very patient to get photos of butterflies. Maybe they could teach us something.... I followed your link on GBBD
