Love the time lapse photos. It will be a while before the butterflies return to my part of the world. Warm today, but an arctic front is to arrive tomorrow. Back to the deep freeze.
Great shots, it's always difficult capturing things at close range that move quickly. I get the idea of the three pictures in a row opening the wings to display the beautiful colours. I find digital cameras helpful in that there is no fear of taking too many photos to get the perfect shot. My camera experiences with this kind of creature haven't been too successful as I spend 5 minutes lining up a shot :-)
beautiful! can't wait till we are seeing these again!
btw...i made your pot roast sliders last night, they were delish! i just made the roast like you did and then shredded it. i got these cute mini ciabatta rolls from walmart that are slider size. i topped mine with havarti cheese and the kid's with cheddar/moz then toasted. they were yummy! perfect end to a snow day, thanks!
Young Junebugs are inexperienced, though. Pretty captures. The feeling of spring/summer in this photo makes me suspect you dipped into the archives for this post.
Beautiful. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
