Yesterday our photogroup visited the Sheep River area in Kananaskis country. This butterfly landed on Kerry's (www.flickr.com/photos/51285784@N03/) shirt and didn't want to leave. Since I had my macro lens on, I snapped a few shots of this little beauty!
It is so completely ace to see these guys out and about again. Even if they don't appear so pleased to see me. Butterflies: so snooty.
This butterfly was right outside our place on the Janelia Farms Research Campus. I thought it was an interesting angle of a butterfly.This photo was taken with a nikon D50 camera with a 85mm f/3.5 nikkor micro lens (1/60sec, f/11.0, handheld).
Be kind, this is my first bug photo ever. I don't have proper macro gear, just a "flower" setting on my little point-n-shooter.
I can't get close enough to see bugs without scaring them away. Butterfly wrangling for this shot was provided by lapettit.
I was kinda pissed at myself for not being able to get motivated to go somewhere and take some pictures today, so I walked around the back yard looking for ANYTHING.
Just love the hairy eyes and the tapestries on their wings. Same butterfly as www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/187864019/ but not the same shot
the Buckeye is a southern butterfly that migrates to the North in different amounts each year. In years where it reaches New Hampshire, it usually is spotted only in the southern parts of the state.
I was surprised today when this Buckeye landed on my sneaker in Jefferson, NH, a town north of the White Mountains. I don't know of any other sightings this far North.
