Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
Today, I would like to share some of my butterfly photography with you.
I hope you will enjoy the photos!

Although I was not able to capture it in photographs, the underside of the wings, the white has a silver, reflective texture to them. It's very neat looking.

Wow, what a beauty!

Some have such amazing camouflage! It's like they match the flowers they feed on.

Another angle.

And another.

I like the details in the antennae. Aren't they cool?

One more close up of these pretty butterfly.

These are really tiny butterflies. I was lucky to get this shot. I have never really looked at them so close up before.

More closeups of the tiny butterfly.

And another. Don't the dots on the wings almost look like 3-dimensional eyes?

These are more common around here. I like the facial expression of this butterfly. It almost looks surprised.

Another picture of the surprised butterfly.

Another one of these elusive white butterflies I had been trying to photograph forever. It seems I am now able to photograph them every day..hahaha.
IMG_7844.jpg
A little bit closer up.
IMG_7845.jpg
Another picture of a white butterfly.
IMG_7853.jpg
These are also small butterflies, but larger than the white ones.
IMG_7858.jpg
A different type of butterfly. I don't see this type very often.
IMG_7856.jpg
A different perspective. This butterfly looks quite buff.
IMG_7899.jpg
These butterflies are so gorgeous. They seem to be more rare.
IMG_8035.jpg
IMG_8039.jpg
I am always amused when I see their little pupils looking at me. They always seem very aware that I am there taking photos of them.
Really prestine wings. I am guessing it is a younger butterfly.
IMG_8037.jpg
From a different angle.
IMG_8038.jpg
Another angle of this beautiful butterfly.
IMG_8042.jpg
A slightly different picture of the same butterfly.
IMG_7854.jpg
These are so hard to photograph. They move really quickly. This is no the best picture, but at least it is a picture haha.
IMG_8029.jpg
And, finally an almost solid orange butterfly.

I hope my photos have brightened your day!
Have a fantastic day!

Very nice photos! I cheated on my last post, and got the chrysalis photo from Unsplash.

Thanks. I use other people's pictures for my posts sometimes too. Nothing wrong with that at all(as long as we credit them).
