It’s been a terrific year for butterflies in my part of the country. When visiting a local botanical garden, in among the clouds of painted ladies was this solitary sulphur butterfly. I went back a day later and I saw it again. Unlike the painted ladies who were constantly on the move, the sulphur, Pink-edged or Clouded (I’m not sure which) savoured the nectar for a while.

Wonderful captures and excellent detail, Belinda! We’ve had a shortage of butterflies, too, and when I do see one it is often just the one.

Love the green eyes – nice shots, Belinda! The butterflies have been great here as well, lots of Monarchs, which is heartening.

Excellent images, and captures, Belinda! I do love that shade of green, and oh, the soft fuzziness of that top one is wonderful!

Funny season; butterflies were everywhere but other insects were in short supply.

Like a beautiful little Tinkerbell fairy! So delicate and dainty. And sitting on one of my favourite flowers, the zinnia with its pastel colours so intense and opaque. I love these two photos, especially the second one that shows the butterfly in profile. Just so lovely, Belinda.
