I shot this picture of a Gulf fritillary a while back and ran across it tonight as I was searching for a picture to post. It's sometimes called a Passion butterfly. I can see why.
Getting decent pictures of butterflies are sometimes difficult unless you have a telephoto lens. But then sometimes they will lite on your finger.
I got close enough to this one to shoot this picture with my phone.
I'm making this post short tonight because a line of thunderstorms are a few miles to the west and I can hear thunder rolling as if there was a bowling alley in the attic. Hopefully they will drops some rain to soak the garden and move on to the east. But I wanted to post now in case the power goes out.
Y'all have a great Friday.

We had a lot of thunderstorms here a couple of nights ago... thankfully they didn't last too long... the picture of the butterfly is beautiful xox
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterfly. Ive never seen one of those kind. I have a butterfly bush. Its full of all kinds of butterflies. You can put your camera right up on them as they are too busy to pay any attention.

I like butterfly pics. I don't think we see that kind of butterfly in my area.
ReplyDeleteWhen someone tells me he is an atheist, I ask them to explain the butterfly.

DeleteLove the jewel-like colors. I hope you don't lose power.
