Just Long Enough

It is not every day that I find a Cabbage White Butterfly that is willing to stop long enough for a photo. Usually said butterfly stop, I lift my camera into position, butterfly splits. This was just long enough.

Look For The Good

I am enjoying the ending days of the summer of 2020. That said, I thas been a crazy year and I will not look back at 2020 with fondness.

Even in the mist of the bad times, if you look for it, you find there has been some speical times. This photo reminded me to look for the good in all the noise. In the noise, and the chaos, you may find the most beautiful experiences that bring lasting joy.

Just A Little Color …

The wing colors and design of various butterflies blows me away. Teresa took the top photo, and I captured the bottom two. There is so much color in this photo. It’s just beautiful.

It is. that time of year when the season begins to change The birds are already migrating, and the cooler temperatures are impacting butterflies and other insects. It’s about time for the leaves to display their fall colors. We will be sharing photos of that as it occurs. Stay warm.

Swallowtail!

What a beautiful Black Swallowtail Butterfly.

I think this is a female, but what do you think? Here is a little help:

The black swallowtail has a wingspan of 6.9–8.4 cm, and females are typically larger than males.[10] The upper wing surface is black with two rows of yellow spots – these spots are large and bright in males and smaller and lighter in females. Females have a prominent blue area between these two rows, while males have a much less prominent blue area. (Wikipedia).

Have a great day!

Red-spotted Purple

This is a Red-spotted Purple Butterfly. This one has had better days. It was on the bike trail and I thought it was dead. Teresa touched it, and it flew to this leaf. Aging can be difficult. Take care of your health and be safe my friends.

They are such a beautiful butterfly in their prime.
