Keeping my eyes on you

This Common Buckeye has cool eyespots. The ones I usually see don't look this much like eyes. I followed this guy around for awhile trying to get a decent pic. I deleted tons of closed shots! :0)

Thank you so much for your kind comments and faves on yesterday's pics!!! I really appreciate the faves on my butterfly collage! :0)

Nice shot. What would you say if I challenged you to NOT take a butterfly photo for the rest of the month? ;-)

[Carolyn White]

@webfoot I can't accept that challenge. Butterflies make me happy. They challenge me and I need that in my life right now. :0)

Carolyn, this is lovely - I remember when I found the "common Buckeye" at our butterfly show and I was so surprised that such a beautiful butterfly is called "common"!!

[Nancy Ruder]

This is like a big game hunter trophy over the fireplace. I know how many shots it takes to get a perfect butterfly photo!

This is a great buckeye - how he's gotten this far without losing too many parts is a miracle - his markings are great and you sure did a super job capturing them. It's so hard to get them to spread the wings fully. Love your butterflies.
