annual butterfly hunt
Every year I search for butterflies to photograph.
I have quite a collection. Hundreds.
These four are not my best, but they are my latest.
Now that the weather is hot, and the skies are blue,
I’ll be on the hunt for more.
I take them purely for the enjoyment. Plus, I get a kick out
of recognizing some of the patterns butterflies fly in.
I do a fairly good job at guesstimating where they may land.
I have other items that I am anxious to write about — making a panoramic image, cleaning my Janome sewing machine, photos from Longwood Gardens. But, for now, it’s just some butterflies.

Gloria–I decided to check on your blog tonight and discovered your lovely photos. My husband and I made our retirement move to Lac Le Jeune, British Columbia last month and we’ve been enjoying all that nature has to offer here. I must get out my camera and take more photos–you’re an inspiration!

Yes, Jenny, you should get out that camera. It’s fun!

Wow, I need to watch more closely. I have one Eastern Swallowtail that visits the kitchen window when I have a fresh hibiscus in a dish on the sill. Allison C. Bayer, Plano, Texas
