More summer butterflies.....

As predicted, we got hit with another huge snowstorm a few days ago.

But for today,
we will once again revisit late summer.....because I don't want you to get tired of snow pictures!

And who can think of summer without
butterflies???














Two beauties:









Have you ever seen a butterflies EYES????:
(holy moley!)  But his wings were all chewed up...so maybe he still is in trauma. LOL







An orange beauty:









Two bees and two butterflies! Do you see them all???





I love these pastel yellow butterflies, but they are very hard to photograph, especially in the sunlight.
They have a pink rim on the outside of their yellow wings, but it is hard to see in this shot.
They are lovely:

These shots make me so melancholy as I am sitting beside a window overlooking
my yard full of white.....Next blog pictures will be more  of our winter snow....stay tuned!!

  1. Those are some gorgeous and amazing photos!!!
    Sadly since we're a bit shy on flowers around here in summer, it means we don't get too many butterfiles either. :o(

  9. Glorious photography! Just breath-taking...

    And I love the (is it called "bouka"?) effect of up-close being clear and distance being hazy. Or visa-versa. LOVE it. You must have a wonderful camera.

    Mine doesn't dooooooo that. But once in a while, I will get a pic which shows it. And I'm happy as a kid in a candy store. :-)

  17. The yellow ones don't want to stand still long enough to be photographed. All your butterflies look great. We have the one butterfly but the second one I have never seen before now.
