More Butterflies

This week's butterfly sent me into the archives to locate a couple more images of the delicate beauties.

Flutterby

I was minding my own business, sitting on the porch with a book. A couple of books, actually; I like to switch up at times and always have a couple in progress. And then I was moved to get up, go indoors and up the stairs to get the Nikon.

This blue-bodied beauty was worth the effort!

Spring!

Hot weather, bright sun, and some real spring visitors were in my yard this week. Both the butterfly and the peony are eyecatchers powerful enough to get me off the lounge chair, upstairs to grab the Nikon, and online to post these results.

More Pond Visitors

Just about every year we have rabbits, many seeming to be quite tame, and all sorts of butterflies and related species. When the bright sun comes out on a lazy Sunday afternoon, keeping the camera ready is a great idea. Using the macro capabilities on smaller animals and using the power of the telephoto for animals that might be skittish, several good images can be added to the collection.

One more post will return to the garden here at home, and by then I will have some photos from a visit to a great new DuPage County Forest Preserve ready to share.
