Attracted to Salvia, these butterflies floated from one flower to the next.
Fragile. Soft.
Really....just perfection.

It's amazing how far their range may be. They are the exact same butterflies over at the Göteborg botanical Gardens this past summer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures .. greetings from Spain
ReplyDeletePerfection indeed :) I love the way your photos manage to capture the floating from flower to flower of the butterfly. Wonderful!!! Hope you are having a good week.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are gorgeous, Chris! But to be fully appreciated, you have to enlarge them, so I encourage all your readers to do just that!
ReplyDeleteWow Chris, these are gorgeous images. The sulphurs and flowers are so delicate and pretty. Love the Sagan quote, great post.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photographs, wonderful images of the nature. I am greeting
ReplyDeleteI learned something: Sulfur is the name of those simple yellow butterflies. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are so sweet and pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and dreamy, I especially love the third, fourth and fifth photos :) The background in the first photo, with the smudgy purple flowers reminds me of a Monet painting.

Such pretty little creatures Chris, beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteI think that I'm falling in love with your butterfly, it is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is scrumptious Chris!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, especially the first pic and the last flight shot. That butterfly is a bit like our Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni), one of the earliest spring species :)
ReplyDeletePretty!!! I used to enjoy going to Chula Vista Park off Ina Road...we were members, and watching all the butterflies and enjoying the colors of Spring and Autumn in that park!!! This post reminded me of the area.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm a bit late in visiting, but, have had a couple of days where the computer is not very cooperative!!
Beautiful photos!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful combination of colors! Great photos!!
ReplyDeleteAh lovely shots Chris, so soft and delicate looking. Love the wee butterfly flitting about.
