Took the camera out, inspite of my better judgement. High heat and high humidity from the recent heavy rains. 7+ miles of walking sort of did me in.

Vicery Butterfly (I need to find out what the shrub is called, and plant one in my yard. They attract all sorts of pollinators)

Hmmm, I was wondering about the plant the butterfly is on too. #1 is my favorite.

#2 is my fav. but they're all very nice. Seems your walk was worth it, nice variety.

Thanks! I did some more research, and it's called a Buttonbush, and I can get them at the nursery. I'm trying to create a pollenator friendly back yard, so I'll be getting a couple of these after the concrete deck is built.

Very nice set.....

Thank you!

Thank you! Looking forward to the cooler weather coming in at the end of September. Birds are starting their Fall migrations now.

No 2 for me J. Just a slightly better angle and pov, tho all decent.

Thank you! That one was taken with the macro at f/2.8. I like it as well. It was a willing subject.
