On the delicate wings of life.
Traveling on the pathways with elegance and grace.
Flitting from one beautiful blossom to the next searching for sweet nectar.
With brief lives, each moment is lived to its fullest.
Each of us a butterfly, with unique beauty, colors and personality.
A beauty that is to be enjoyed by those near and dear.

[ Smiles ] Dreamy butterflies!
Thank you so much Renard. So happy that I was able to bring some joy to your day.
Beautiful creatures (and pics of course!) 😀
Appreciate your kind words, and so happy you enjoyed these.
Wow! Those are stunning!
You’re more than sweet Jerry. I sent in my Mark III to get serviced while I’m on this trip and didn’t bring my macro 100mm or 100-400mm. Let me tell you.. I was really missing the quality of the ‘pro’ gear.
This is with the 7D and 70-300mm Lens. Super high ISO’s. Thank you.
Just being truthful, those are some of the best butterfly photos that I’ve seen.
OMG your stop shots of the butterfly in flight is BREATHTAKING!
I’m with you Jasmine. That first image is really awesome and fun. I was thrilled when I got that shot. Thank you so much!
Those are quite lovely.
So happy you enjoyed these Phil ! Hope you’re doing well. 🙂
So beautiful!!! Every time I try to snap a pic of a butterfly, it flies away!! I guess I’ll just enjoy your beautiful pic!! Now frogs, I got me some frogs!!🙋
Now frogs are way cool. I keep wanting to get them in nature, but they hear me coming and croak and jump in the water. This place is amazing, you’re constantly being dive bombed by butterflies.
Stunning photos.
You are so kind. Thank you!
So beautiful ! How do you manage such crisp, sharp images of these fluttery creatures?
Oh Madhu, you are truly too kind. This is with the 70-300mm Canon lens which is notoriously “soft” along with high ISO’s up to 3200. These pictures are not to my new standards that I get with the 100mm L Macro and Canon Mark III and lowe ISO’s. Thank you though, these were the best I got out of 300 images. 🙂
Lovely butterflies! 🙂
Thanks Bente ! When I get time with my id book, I’ll be able to place the names with these. There are so many I missed too.
Magnificent images all!
You are so sweet to say that. They’re all right, but as always, I’m my worst critic. Thank you so much!
These are beautiful mosaics, Emily!
Thank you so much Lisa ! I was hoping it wasn’t overkill, but I did enjoy capturing these flutterbys.
Hi,
I absolutely love these images of the butterflies. Did you go to a butterfly conservatory? Not sure I’m saying the term correctly. I’d like to go to one of those one day. I want to take some photos like this. I know I keep saying this but you’re an awesome photographer. Are you a professional photographer?
Blessings,
Judy
That’s a good enough name for the butterfly garden at UF. It must be one of the largest on the east coast, and so well done. I was constantly being dive bombed by butterflies there are so many.
You are so generous with your kind words on my work. Not professional yet, but hope to be able to promote more next year.
AMAZINGLY Beautiful Captures:)
AWESOME Renee ! It makes my day when you’re happy you know?
beautiful.
Thanks Paul!
Ah, Flutter-bys. They are so calming 🙂
You know what I was feeling while spending time in the butterfly garden. I didn’t want to leave.
Great images
