Try as I might, I could not get a shot of this beauty with its head outside of these Star Gazers. I was shooting from up on top of my deck looking down at it. It was completely uninterested in me as it feasted on sweet nectar. Its outer wing was covered in Pollen to be carried off when it was ready to taste another flower. There are many butterflies around my home, yet it seems that too often I am unprepared to photograph them. Hopefully that will change as I am in the process of creating a huge Butterfly/Humming Bird garden near the back part of my property. Wild flowers are starting to come up when I checked today and I anticipate that soon they will be blooming. It is a long term project as I have to add a bird bath, stepping stones, a Zen bench, and more plants. When it's all finished, I hope to have an oasis for winged beauties of many different varieties stopping by for some refreshments and a good photo. I love living in the country and you couldn't pay me in a truck load of gold to have to move back to the city. I am truly at home here in my wooded paradise with all that slithers, crawls, creeps, flies, and trots through my slice of Heaven.
Happy Shooting.
