I didn't see many butterflies this summer, with the dry conditions and all, so I was happy with this shot, closed wings and all! There were quite a few of them dancing on the sand and with three little tots in tow, I only spent a couple of seconds getting a shot of a butterfly.
I did not see many either! I was getting worried. But I guess it is the DRY thing! Like you said. Now, we are getting more around and it has been more rainy. And at school in that outdoor classroom, they planted more butterfly bushes and lantana at the end of last year, and it has grown so much over the summer...so when I was down there the other day...wow. butterfly heaven!
These are such beautiful creatures and when they arrive they do it in force! I saw them in Canada one year and there were so many I couldn't believe it.
i've seen a lot near the parkette where i live, but they're just too quick for me to shoot :-) although i did get one last month. this one is nice and looking fresh, and it looks like it's trying to get some tan. hahaha!
