A little whisper

For my friends that call me a Butterfly Whisperer. There may have been more whining and begging than whispering. LOL!

Another Hackberry Emperor landed on me today. This one was on my elbow. I got about six shots before my battery went dead. My extra was on the charger in the house. The butterfly stayed on my arm until I got to the porch. It was still on the porch when I came back out and landed on my shoulder briefly, before it flew away. :0)

Thank you for the comments on yesterday's moth pic! It was really fun to read them!

Today is my Day 200, like many others who started January 1. Time really does fly when you're having fun! :0)

Wow! Might have to try that strategy myself. What a magnificent looking butterfly Carolyn. Your comment on the 200th photo, made me go back and check mine. I started on Jan 1st as well. My photo is 201 today. Pretty huge milestone hey! I'll have a glass of something bubbly for you tonight after work - a kind of joint celebration.
