~All A Flutter...And An Award!


~All a flutter ....
In Black~n~Blue!


~A symbol of Hope~
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam,
And for a brief moment its beauty and
glory belong to our world.
But then if flies again,
And though we wish it could
have stayed...We feel
lucky to have seen it!
~Author Unknown~



~Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting,
Small but approachable, Butterflies lead you
into the sunny side of life. . .
And everyone deserves a little sunshine! :)
~Jeffrey Glassburg



~Lovely ORANGE on ORANGE against BLUE!
All a flutter...
~And an AWARD below! :)

The black and blue is great. Have you ever printed your work large. say 16x20 or larger? Would look awsome I am sure.
Cheers

It's great fun to capture butterfly and insect pic's. You have to shoot several to get a good one. Been shooting RAW to get all the delicate detail. See ya later.

Great blog. Butterfly pictures ARE hard to get.

I went for a walk last night and saw 5 different species--and didn't have my camera. That goes to show that walking for health is not compatible with photography;)

It is interesting and amazing to see the various sorts of butterflies you have. They are so different to the ones we can see here.
