Buckeye

I had a wonderful day with family. My youngest grandson turned 2 today.

I did take pics at the party, but butterflies are much easier for me than small children at parties. :0)

I found this Buckeye butterfly, after I got home.

Thank you so much for visiting my project!!! I'm behind on my commenting. I'm working on catching up. :0)

Gorgeous capture of this one, Carolyn Awesome clairty and color on him. These butterflies are beautiful ... and yes, probably are easier to capture than small children. lol Happy birthday to your grandson!

Does the name refer to the spots on the butterfly Carolyn? Gorgeous photo and gorgeous butterfly!

I've never seen one of these in the wild, Carolyn - you are so good at this. My only picture of the Buckeye is from our Butterfly Show!

Beautiful as always - and he still has all his parts! So many around here are showing signs of a hard life this summer! Love to see what you find.

[Carolyn White]

@kellc Thank you! Yes, the name refers to its eyespots. The eyespots scare off predators. :0)

Signature macro shot, lighting, colour, focus all perfect. Fav

[Claire]

Truly beautiful shot with the full wing expanse; my first thought though was this is a mummy butterfly - eyes in the back of its head, or wing in this case:0)

Gorgeous shot!

[Cindy McFarland]

So colorful! Great shot Carolyn!

[Christie Hicks]

Lovely details on the wings and the stem. How fun to see your grandson turn 2, but parties with lots of little kids can be overwhelming. I'd stick with the butterflies too! Hope you had a great day.
