Passion butterfly

I shot this picture of a Gulf fritillary a while back and ran across it tonight as I was searching for a picture to post. It's sometimes called a Passion butterfly. I can see why.

Getting decent pictures of butterflies are sometimes difficult unless you have a telephoto lens. But then sometimes they will lite on your finger.

I got close enough to this one to shoot this picture with my phone.

I'm making this post short tonight because a line of thunderstorms are a few miles to the west and I can hear thunder rolling as if there was a bowling alley in the attic. Hopefully they will drops some rain to soak the garden and move on to the east. But I wanted to post now in case the power goes out.

Y'all have a great Friday.

  2. Beautiful butterfly. Ive never seen one of those kind. I have a butterfly bush. Its full of all kinds of butterflies. You can put your camera right up on them as they are too busy to pay any attention.

  4. When someone tells me he is an atheist, I ask them to explain the butterfly.
