Those are brilliant pictures, Jennifer! How did you manage to get the butterflies to pose for you while you got the camera ready? I never succeed when I try!
I took these photos with my phone camera. I just stood close to the flowers, with the camera zoomed in (so I didn't have to get too close) and the butterflies kept landing near me. They didn't seem to mind me taking pictures!
So beautiful! I very rarely see butterflies around here.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why?
DeleteSo gorgeous! And what perfect shots you got! I've never seen either of those in real life.
ReplyDeleteI imagine you have lots of different species in Canada that I've never seen!
DeleteGorgeous butterflies! They are magical.
ReplyDeleteThey really do lend an air of magic to the garden, just like the fireflies after dark.
DeleteSo much patience and a steady hand is required to get pictures like this. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAs I told Meike in a comment below, I got these photos with my phone. The butterflies didn't seem to mind!
DeleteGorgeous photos!

DeleteMy sister noted the lack of butterflies in wales this year
ReplyDeletePractically non
Hasn't it been unseasonably cold? Maybe that's why?
DeleteGreat pictures. Clearly those butterflies don't mind the heat!
ReplyDeleteClearly they do not!
DeleteGreat photos! Zinnias are a great flower to attract butterflies.
