I considered uploading all of these butterfly pictures in the new extra large format offered by blogger, but realized that quite probably nobody else will be as interested in them as I am and also, it didn't seem fair to feature them more prominently than photos of my own children. ;)
Except I just couldn't resist enlarging this last photo of one of our many black swallowtails. She was so gracefully circling me two days ago but never would land, so I finally decided to zoom in and hope for the best. This shot came out way better than I hoped for; I hadn't even noticed that caterpillar (on the far left stem) until I transferred these photos to my computer! So, while I still feel like I'm just biding my time until I can afford a sweet new DSLR, I suppose my little point-and-shoot will work just fine for a while longer, after all. :)
Your photos are gorgeous Melissa. And I'm always happy to see more garden creatures. I too am eyeing a DSLR. My husband gave me the go ahead, but ah, just so expensive! We'll see.
ReplyDeleteI would say that photos of butterflies and children are equally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHaven't commented in awhile but thought I'd say...your blog is as happy a visit as always! Happy kids, happy mom. I know that that's my goal. :)
There are so many different ones and they are all as equally beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
