Gorgeous Butterflies

We visited my sister in law last weekend and while I was at her garden, I saw these two gorgeous butterflies feasting on the butterfly bush flowers.

I threw out butterfly bush seeds last fall, but unfortunately didn't get any to grow. Those last 2 shots against the sky are wonderful!

Lovely butterflies! You should also submit it on my new photo meme, Orange You Glad It’s Friday, featuring photography with a little or a lot of orange! It can be found on my blog every Friday. Hope to see you there!

The one with the lacy-look under his wings is amazing - well, they all are beautiful. You got some great shots!

Birds & Blooms is having a backyard photography contest - go to birdsandblooms.com and look for contests, backyard photo... I'd put the link in here, except that I just hate to do that in comments.

Happy Pink Saturday!

Gorgeous is an understatement. Your series of butterflies with all of their detail is awesome. We had few again this summer. I do not know what is happening in this part of the country. It is very sad. I have to just count on bloggers like you to share your babies with me. genie
