There's been a recent mass hatching of the Blue Tiger butterflies, but every one of them have been heading from west to east, passing right past my back windows, over my yard and straight over the fence to the next garden.
I obviously don't have the right flowers for them !
And wow, so many… Got curious after several days of this parade so yesterday actually stood and counted six within one minute flutter by … all going at the rate of knots and not a chance to even try for a pic.

Anyhoo, last Sunday, spotted a pair of Wanderers ( Monarchs ) hanging around some greenery on the lake's edge.
Turns out there was a good clump of tropical milkweed that they love.
It was only budding, not yet in flower, and they were laying eggs on the leaves.
As mentioned before, I set little challenges with my pics and always wanted to get a butterfly in flight.
I did manage to get a series, but stayed at quite a distance, to make sure the Girlz didn't wander through it all and scare off these pretties.
As for the grey day, well, it's been a typical tropical summer and we're grateful for the overcast weather lately.
Still often sticky and humid with intermittent showers, the clouds have kept us cooler with occasional gentle breezes.
As you know, the tripod gets left in the cupboard so everything's either handheld or resting on something, and sometimes you've just gotta be quick-to-get-the-pic !
So again, not perfect as there was no time to sit down and fiddle about to stabilise and I wonder if I could've scored better if I had.
Never do any good with looking through the viewfinder, forgot to put the specs on and the cloudy sky was reflecting on the screen, so I s'pose lucky to get any at all ..
I like this one because when I look at the butterfly against the water here, it has a bit of a 3D effect.
Ha, get it.. 'the butterfly effect' ...

I see a small improvement. I no longer have to hold a flashlight to get the pupils details. Instead I change an effect on my camera but not taking off the program feature.

Our Daily Challenge ... lots of.
This is a small tree in my garden whose name I can't recall at the moment. It is covered in tiny white flowers at the moment.
When you refill the soap container , and the old and new soaps get mixed, you end up with a cool effect, So, you got to share it 😁!
She dares me to pour myself out like a living waterfall. She dares me to enter the soul that is more than my own; she extinguishes fear in mere seconds. She lets light come through.

Edit: thank you for helping me get my first image on Explore :)
No special effect here, just red painting ! This one is dedicated to Christophe. I've discovered his stream on flickr because he was posting pictures in Toulouse pool like me.
Pas d'effets spéciaux ici, juste de la peinture rouge ! Celle-ci est dédiée à Christophe. J'ai découvert son flux sur flickr parce qu'il postait des images dans le groupe de Toulouse comme moi.
