Every once in a while you get to be in the right place at the right time for the good shot. It’s even harder with animals and insects as they are always moving. I was blessed recently to get one of those moments. My mom was up the other weekend and walked to our mailbox. She came back in, had me get my camera, and follow her down the driveway. At the end of the driveway she showed me what she had seen and I was able to be at the right place to see this….
Do you see them? They almost blend in with the flowers and if it wasn’t for their movement mom and I might have missed them.
They stayed on the flowers for a really long time. I hope they did this as they knew we wouldn’t hurt them and just wanted to capture this beauty.
They stayed on the flowers almost still. I am guessing they were drinking in the pollen and resting.
The one seemed to turn so we could capture all his/her good sides 🙂
Another turn…
I just love to look at these pictures and think of how much beauty and peace these butterflies bring. It was just such a beautiful and peaceful moment to have. I am glad I had someone to share it and enjoy it with.
