It seems to be a good summer for cabbage whites, it’s very hot and sunny with plenty for these butterflies to feed on. Not as flashy as many butterflies they still have a unique beauty and are fun to photograph in some of their loopier poses.
I love the cabbage whites. Sometimes we take them for granted because they are so common, but what a lovely fluttering presence they are on earth. So difficult to photograph due to their constant movement–makes these photos especially great. Thanks Belinda.

The second one is a very good macrophoto. Love the capture of the butterfly hanging to the tiny yellow flower.

Very nice! 🙂 I still see quite a few but not in numbers like many years ago (when our river bank would be swarming with tons of them).

Thanks Tom. I’ve found that no two summers are the same anymore. What was rare or abundant no longer is 😏.

I say well done on capturing them at all: our cabbage whites seem to flutter about far too high and bob about far too quickly for me to even focus.

Thanks! I find them easier to photograph the hotter the temperature, and we’re having a scorcher of a summer.
