Imperfect … But So Perfect

This is a female Black Swallowtail. Sometimes nature does not show up in places that allow for a 'perfect' photo. I think that is what makes nature photography great ... the photos of nature are not perfect. Sometimeme you find wildlife where this is less than great lighting, a blades of grass or trees in the way. You see, wildlife does not show up in places where you can get that 'perfect' photo. All that said, viewing nature is so very perfect.

Monarch …

We have not seen very many Monarch butterflies this year. I think this is only the 3rd or 4th all year. This is so concerning. ❤️

Attack Of The Hackberry

This was fun. We have seen this behavior of the Hackberry Emperor butterfly before. They are attracked to humans it seems, likelky the sweat. In an older post we have photographed them on our arms and hands. This one was on Teresa's pants. I had several of them attempt land on my head, face and neck. I did't try to stop them, but they never really were successful.
