Butterflies and Happiness

Butterflies amaze me. The colors and the intricate details are so wonderful. When you get close to a river or stream, its not uncommon to find them stopping to get a drink. They make me happy.

Please, Don’t Move

We saw several monarch butterflies this last 2 or 3 weeks, but have not been able to caputre many photos of them. This one was an exception. She was on this flower for a long time, which allowed me to caputure several photos. This was the best shot. ~ Rick

Butterfly And More Colors

Teresa captured this butterfly earlier this week. The butterfly is cool, but the colors in this photo are stunning. The cone flower really makes this photo. I love the details!

Pollinating on a Break

I think I enjoy taking photos of butterflies almost as much as taking photos of birds. I followed this guy around until he took a liking to this cone flower .. and then I took a few photos.

One very yellow butterfly

This photo is from our last butterfly walk (hike) of the season. I love this dudes eyes. This is a Sulfur butterfly - very yellow and beautiful. ❤️

The video today is a little different (I think I say that too often). This video was shot indoors at the wonderful Festival of Trees in Sandy, Utah. Funds raised at Festival of Trees are a “A Gift of Love” to children at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City. This hospital has done so much for my granddaughter and the family. She has Cystic Fibrosis, and the doctors and nurses at Children’s Primary have been a big help in difficult times. If this holiday season is not your thing, then please, don’t watch this one.

I could not believe all the trees. Amazing. Enjoy!
