Eastern Swallow Tails and Dragonflies of the Vermilon River. A Post to My World Tuesday.



Continuing in the same vein, here's another taste of summer. I'm guessing that both black butterflies are the dark morph females, but if you'll notice the base colours are different.If any one knows differently, let me know.

    I love the butterflies and the dragonfly, especially when it is winter.

    Those are great shots. Having tried many times to get good butterfly shots, I can only imagine how much patience it took go get them.

    Beautiful butterflies. The first one looks like the Common Mormon which is often seen in my garden.

    Have spent a bit of time trying to photograph butterflies this summer - they are both a treat and a challenge! Well done!

    Hi Stewart M. They were all taken on the fringe of a dried up wetland which is loaded with wildflowers.

    They are lovely Gary. I really need to go try to get some butterfly shots (here in Florida, it is spring already or maybe summer, I get confused ;>)
