Butterflies sweet as nectar…
Prancing from branch to branch…
Freely flying high…
I had a real hard time photographing the butterflies. They wouldn’t stand still long enough for the shots. They had me sweating… I spent two hours admiring and chasing after them…
To see what type of butterfly, click on the picture… All have been named…

Oh yes, know that feeling. It’s no fun when it’s so hot. I think the butterflies doesn’t like it either. 🙂

That’ll be great… Can’t wait to see what you write and your pictures. I was told to try and go on a day that isn’t as sunny and hot… They flutter less when is cooler… Good luck… It was just enjoying the scenery with this huge smile of my face… Hope people didn’t I was nuts, but I felt like a child watching…
