Very gorgeous photos. That's a butterfly bush?
I have never been lucky enough to take clear photos of butterflies in my own yard/garden. Bees, wasps, hornets, and all kinds of things don't mind me prancing lightly about while inching closer and closer to get a photo. But butterflies, no. If I have my camera, they won't land on anything in my yard.
Maybe it will be different where I live now. But all I have seen here are a bunch of those white moths - many of those all day long. Treasure liked to chase them. Only caught one once. Itty Bitty may be a bug hunter after all. Twice today, I saw her interested in bugs. Once, she was tracking something in the melon patch. I had seen a wasp under the spot she was focused on, about five minutes before, so I directed her clear of the melons. Then later, the roommate and I got a little too excited when her eyes were tracking a white moth. I like when my dogs show an interest in nature, even if it is bugs and insects. Although I taught Reba and Treasure that bees are just about sacred, so they can only be watched. Reba loved to sit and watch bees and the birds for hours. Treasure always went in search of something she was allowed to hunt or dig up.
I wonder how she does it?
