I love this one! It takes such patience to capture 'flutterbies' doesn't it? Enjoyed your 'gobbler' family photo too. Thanks for sharing both.
Hugs and blessings,

I wish I were a butterfly...

Becky said...

I'm waiting for Butterflies too. Not many passed through here this summer.
We did name the Monarch I had. Monty was what we called him till "he" emerged, and them my granddaughters changed the name to "Emma", so off she flew into the wild blue yonder. I have found another catterpillar 2 days ago, so now will be looking for another name.

Oh my goodness, totally exquisite Carletta. I'm sure it wasn't long before the butterfly turned up to enjoy this beautiful flower. Thanks for sharing.

Recently we took a lot photos of butterfly and really appreciate of your "Waiting for a butterfly". The flower is so pretty, I am sure it has no difficulty of attracting butterflies.

Wonderful flower in pink. I love it. I also liked the little gobblers growing up. Those are really nice.

Thanks for your visit to my Pick a Peck of Pixels.

Don't seem like we will make it to WV this year. So last summer will have to last another year.
