Then I imaged a whole meadow full of photographers doing it at the same time.

We have quite a few of them here, but I never knew what they were called. Thanks.

Its sunny here today so I am going to walk over to a meadow nearby and see what I can find. There is an elusive small orange one that I would love to get a photo of. Sandpiper, it sounds like you have the same butterflies that we have here, and I would think that your region would too, Becky.<BR/><BR/>mary:<BR/>My method is very simple: once I see one, I don't let it out of my sight and I follow it and wait for it to alight on something and sometimes it takes me around in a circle. A meadow is best for this as I'm not too worried I will stumble over something in my pursuit as I am often watching the butterfly more than where I'm going.me ann my camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083671096943783249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29934747.post-50907911879673908532008-06-02T12:02:00.001-03:002008-06-02T12:02:00.001-03:00Such good photos!

They flit and flutter so quickly. Very nice....look forward to more!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29934747.post-59198473079322558192008-06-02T12:02:00.000-03:002008-06-02T12:02:00.000-03:00Nice shots!

I think once more of the summer flowers are in bloom, we'll see more. There aren't a lot of dragonflies here yet either.Sandpiper (Lin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03704451520824495064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29934747.post-2918141042622018122008-06-02T09:16:00.000-03:002008-06-02T09:16:00.000-03:00I haven't seen many Butterflies around here either...I haven't seen many Butterflies around here either. I agree, it's been too cold. It is supposed to be much warmer this week, so we'll see what shows up.<BR/>The detail you captured on those little ones is superb. I would have trouble just getting close enough before they would fly away.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539402327765556670noreply@blogger.com
