It's Butterfly Time!

I'm posting these from a couple days ago for Camera Critters, which is on Saturdays. There is a blog to go to to see more posts or to find out how to include yours.

I forgot to include the dill, larkspur, and verbena bon...(on a stick) in my blooming posts. Monarchs are usually pretty shy around me, so I started taking photos before seeing how close I could get.





I've been checking the dill in the veggie garden, and finally have a couple caterpillars.

    Good Morning! I forgot to mention I think the "twins" are swallowtails of some kind.

    Great job! Butterflies are so pretty. I wish I could get them to sit still long enough to get some shots like this.

    Great shots, but I really like the last one. Twin caterpillars and green lines coming out and around the camera.

    A most interesting photo of the caterpillars. I haven't seen one Monarch yet this summer, so it's nice that you shared yours with us.

    Butterflies are magical to me! I saw two swallowtails today, so I am in a butterfly mindset. Wish I could have had a camera when I saw them! Thanks for sharing these...
