Hanging around on Blue Fortune Hyssop. I should have bought every one of these plants they had when they were on clearance last year. They bloomed for months and the bugs just love them.....
Visited the Stan Hywet butterfly house today where I found the most relaxed butterflies I've yet to see. I was able to take off the telephoto and shoot with the 60 macro; they didn't care if you stood right on top of them! One landed on my speedlight as I was changing memory cards. It's hard to use your camera to take a picture of itself.
It's a lovely facility, easily the most humidified butterfly house I've yet to visit, and I've been in three this summer. And it's been a HOT summer! When I walked out into the 90-degree heat and direct sun, I felt wonderfully cool. It was an odd sensation.
More posts to come in a day or so. Also some from the garden.

I was happy to capture this small butterfly again :-)
It's one of my very favourite butterfly. I love its blue tone.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit using the 180mm ... try as I may, I still couldn't fit this guy in at 1:1 ... so ... I decided to get closer!
No crop. Can't remember the magnification.
Basically out of the camera shot though.
