The temp. finally dropped to the low 90's for a while, yay, so I've been able to stay outside for long enough to Butterfly Whisper, and the butterflies have been cool enough to come to the lantana for munchies.

I didn't know you were a great photographer too! I especially like the 2nd to last photo :)

Thank you! The gulf frittilary's white spots shine like metal in strong sunlight, I was fortunate to capture it at the right moment.

Simply wonderful! Glad you're posting photos again--I've missed them.

So have I! Most of the time it was so blistering hot that even if I put on a hat and stood in the shade for as long as I could stand it (like 10 min), hardly any butterflies came by. When it got down to 90 or so, I could stand there for half an hour & have hope of seeing them.

To have caught the swallowtail in mid wing beat, that's brilliant.

THank you. I was so pleasantly astonished to see that one on the computer, I was all WHEEEE!

Gorgeous photos! So glad your camera seems to be cooperating.

Thank you! I'm figuring out how to work within its limitations!
