We've been very busy in the vegetable gardens, so I hadn't really taken the time to pause and watch the many butterflies that have been feasting from the row of zinnias I planted a few months ago--until today.
The blooms and flutterbies were so bright, but butterflies are a bit of a challenge to capture because they'll take off about the time you get your camera focused.
I did manage to snap a few shots that I'm pretty satisfied with, though.
Here are a few, for your viewing pleasure.
I was a bit surprised at how many of the butterflies have ragged wings. I wonder why? Do they fight amongst themselves? Did they barely escape the clutches of a mean ol' cat?
Whichever the case, they are very beautiful!
