I don't know that I have much to say about the butterfly. I haven't had time to check and see what kind it is, but it does look familiar. I've posted about these little guys before and I think I've identified those back then. I'll tell you just what it is next time I get one.
On days like the one with this buttefly encounter I wish I could stay out there forever. I keep quickly remembering that I have other unpleasant things I have to do though. I stood and watched the river behind this butterfly for a long time. It was heaven.
I was chasing butterflies from plant to plant. Most of them were too fast for me. I got the video because the pictures were getting hard. The video did a good job of keeping up though. I'll have to take a look at my other butterfly pictures to see if there's anything that's good enough for another post. I'll have to have at least a small story for it though. I'll talk to you later.
A butterfly a day chases the doctor away.
ReplyDeleteI meant to chase butterflies, but instead I chased doctors.
DeleteTiger Swallowtail on mustard. I laughed the other day at how many miles I may travel just to marvel at these beauties. There are 3 varieties in Iowa.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I knew it looked familiar. I've identified these butterflies before, but it's been a long time.
Deletewow, beautiful photos, and very lovely video, I find the swallowtail harder to photograph than a monarch because it always is up and about, but you captured it so well.
ReplyDeleteI've actually had more trouble with the monarch, but only because I don't see as many of them for some reason.
DeleteWhat a nice photo. Background and lighting and colors perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It took a lot of chasing.
