Butterfly....flutterby

I was in the right place at the right time....I had a chance to photograph two of God's little creatures on a perfect pleasure, the flower.

My first photo subject was far away from me....even on zoom, but I managed to get a couple of good shots.
I stood in awe at the beautiful contrast in color.
The second subject was much closer. Both butterflies seemed to enjoy my Joe Pye Weed.
Soon, my darling insects were chasing each other, zig zagging in the sky and fluttering by me.


Happy PINK! C & G Design.

    Goodness, I would've thought that pink was sedum. The butterflies are enjoying it very much this year. Glad you told me it was Joe Pye. Looks great! Happy Pink!

    Yes! It is a great plant. Mine finished blooming about two weeks ago. So now we track the seasons. Did you get my email yesterday?

    Ah, what a pretty "Great Spangled Fritillary" butterfly! No, I am not that smart, I just happen to have my butterfly book on the desk. Hee hee... They are pretty little things...

    So hard to capture them isn't it? I mean in a picture!

    I love the delicate pink of the Joe Pye Weed.
