Biding My Time With Butterflies

There are times in life when the immediate concerns of person or family demand absolute attention to the exclusion of all else. Such a time I now find myself in and as a result beg the indulgence of my readers for this simple posting of a few images recorded during a visit late last year to the NABA International Butterfly Park in Mission, Texas with my friend Stephen Ingraham.

    Beautiful, John, just beautiful. I’ve never seen a Branded Peacock, even though I lived in Texas for a good many years. The art brush of our Creator is unlimited in its creativity and beauty!

    …beautiful butterflies. I’m just starting to learn about them. I hope I can capture images as nice as these some day!

    Wow you got some nice photos. I saw a hummingbird photo on the site that was also really nice, but for these butterfly pictures, I recommend trying to, next time, get it head on or from the side. It will look much nicer and more dramatic than most common photos (though again these are very nice).
