My first butterfly... I am addicted.....

[tinkster]

I have my first butterfly.  I have followed her all over the yard trying to photo her.. she  seems to like the blanket flowers the best.  She has a polka dotted head and trim.  think I will name her fancy.  I sure hope I dont get addicted to chasing butterflies all day long.

Congrats!  Beautiful shots of your new pet!  It found the best garden for sure.

So that's what colorado is suppose to look like.  Very pretty!  I think mine needs more sun to look that good!

It's a monarch butterfly.

We don't have Monarch's here, I'm jealous. That first photo is a really nice one. My echinacea aren't even close to blooming either...

[Julles]

Wow, she sure let you get close!  Very pretty.  Love the lilies, too.

Beautiful Monarch butterfly. Especially love the third picture. Butterfly Gardens can be almost addicting as ponds.

Joy,

Beautiful Monarch you have there!  I especially like the picture of it on your coneflower...I planted some from seed last fall and they are just getting flowers forming...can't wait to see what color(s) mine are - the seed packet said mixed.  I used to have some back in SD beside my pond and in my front brick flower bed, they are so pretty and such strong plants! 

You better watch it, or we will be calling you butterflycatcher   

Take care and I hope all is going well with you and yours.
