Who'd Have Thunk It? A Butterfly Finally Showed Up in My "Butterfly Garden"!

A Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly on of all things a COSMOS flower!

Beautiful!

I can see a solid colored yellow butterfly in among the summer flowers outside. Yes we do have year 'round flowers out here.Smile.gif

That reminds me. I have to go fill the Hummingbird feeder! BRB!

Beautiful butterfly! Beautiful golden yellow flower too. It must take so much patience to wait for the perfect second to push that button that takes the photo. I admire your talent, AMac.

Apparently the butterflies have unionized . That would explain their lack of participation in your garden {insert large toothy grin here } .

Actually, a number of anti-environment conservatives live in my neighborhood and the butterflies waited until they left for summer vacation.

Wonderful photos, and the second one is priceless - how would it look posterized.

Hey....you have all of my Butterflies!!

Despite this series which was taken (46 shots) in a 20 minute period yesterday, I have seen very few butterflies as compared to previous years.

Sad isn't it?? I have heard others say the same thing. I have seen very few Humming birds these past 2-3 years. Frown.gif Frown.gif

These belong on greeting cards!

But there's no nectar for them on greeting cards oh oh I get it now.

Actually, I offer them on canvas, paper, throw pillows, phone cases, greeting cards and other stuff.

And thank you for the compliment, Nona.
