In winter months I sure do miss seeing all the beautiful butterflies fluttering about on all the fresh wild flowers. I miss chasing them just to get their picture almost as if I were the nature paparazzi. It was always fun to get a butterfly used to you, and then sneak your finger in for them to catch a ride. My favorite time was down in Waterlily, NC. We keep a permanent camper on the sound. and there's a little area down by the dock where you can ALWAYS find butterflies. This day, there was an interesting little Red Admiral. He was a little worn, but had so much personality! He followed me everywhere, watching what I was doing. Finally he landed...and said hello ;)

Ever since last year when I decided to start doing photography, I've managed to capture 12 different butterflies on my finger...and get a picture of it too! I love butterflies. They make me so happy! :) hopefully this post brings a little bit of happiness your way!
I do miss the butterflies too although I have never tried to have them on my finger. Great photos, I miss them too although it is easier to see the birds in the winter, so there is always something to enjoy!
