Three of a Kind.... by ellimae

Three of a Kind....

photo 123
More Like A FULL HOUSE!! I went for a ride along the creek today and up the Mountain..I was just about to give up..when I prayed for God to just show me another one of his beautiful creation's ...I quickly turned off the road as there was a small opening to the creek that was not steep at all..As I got closer i saw about 20 or more of these beautiful butterflys all sunbathing on the rocks!!! The best thing about it is even though about 17 flew around or away..These three did not miss their photo shoot appointment!!

I took hundreds as you can imagine... but My Husband liked this one the best as it show's there was more then one that stuck around!!

Thank you all for your comments and fav's and views on my "Go Jay's" Photo from yesterday ..They were much appreciated!! :)

What a wonderful capture, Ellen! Gorgeous butterflies! A friend once told me that God paints each of us a different picture every day and it's up to us to find it!

@myautofocuslife 'thank you Livia..I totally believe God gave me this Gift to show me he listen's..sometimes i tend to go off on my own without his help and i always mess up!!
posted May 1st, 2012  
OMG they look like paintings. what beautiful butterflies. And how cooperative of them to pose for you.
posted May 1st, 2012  
Oh Elen - someone's certainly listening and watching over you - a wonder such as this is to be captured and held forever ........ I think that's why they invented cameras and photographers :)

@olivetreeann Thanks Ann for the Heads up!! I get so busy commenting and posting i probably would not ever have noticed!! ..This has really been a great week for me ...The MM must have gotten stuck on my Name! LOL ..Not complaining!!!
posted May 2nd, 2012  
@kiwichick Yes Lesley..This was probably one of the most amazing things i have ever seen and to actually see that many of them just laying there on top of each other was remarkable...as i walked up to them not even knowing they were there it was like birds flying out of a cake!! It was so unexpected and so exciting...then these three just sat there for the longest time , I actually thought the one laying flat out was dead and maybe they were there in morning ...I think my dad's recent passing may have triggered that thought ..but anyway it was unreal and i probably will never encounter something so unusual like this in a long time!
