LINKED TO SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY AND TODAY'S FLOWERS.
Taken during our visit with the kids in Colorado. I was resting and admiring the wildflowers as Lisa hiked ahead on a trail at Hall Ranch near Lyons.
I knew my legs needed a rest, but I thought my eyes must really be tired too when it seemed like part of the flower I was looking at just upped and flew away.
Luckily, the flying part landed again a few seconds later so that I could get these pictures.
Sallie, I have also been doing the “Catch-up” thing today. Have gone all the way back to when you left Florida to make sure I did not miss anything. I have chosen this post to leave my comment for two reasons. One, I love butterflies and know how hard it is to get a good shot of them. Two, it is such a gorgeous photo that I could stare at it for hours.
While moving through your post I found myself wishing I could be a stowaway on your travels. I love how you see things and the way you describe them for us. Even when it is a place I passed through you found a way to bring the memory back in way I failed to take in.
Keep up the good work because a lot of us live our life vicariously through blogs like yours; even if we do not always post a comment.
Blue on blue, perfect!
Sallie, Sallie—What a great shot! It is a stunning picture ( and the colors do “blend” right together, don’t they). The photo is perfect too–clear,sharp, excellent color–just great. Hope you are enjoying your time in Colorado–the temp there has to be a lot better than the 100 degree weather we are having in Kansas. Take care. Mickie 🙂
Sallie – How lucky (and gorgeous!).
A beautiful capture…
Hi Sallie, We are back from our trip with the greandkids. I came here to check on what you’ve been doing. Looks like you are still traveling through some beautiful country. This picture with the butterfly is amazing. (That’s my favorite word when I come to your blog.)
That is exceptional – what an amazing shot. Butterflies are hard to get at all!
Such wonderful ShadowShots. The butterfly looked like she might fly right off my computer screen! Wow!! Happy SSS.
Beautiful!
Oh wow – what a great photo! I thought exactly the same as you on first look, that the butterfly was part of the flower.
Beautiful macro shots.
Regards!
How beautiful they are, both flower and butterfly. Great captured!
Picture perfect, lucky that you decided to rest!
Your pictures are so beautiful ! I like blue flowers and blue butterflies … and in fact all things in blue !
It’s just the kind of shot I wish I could do. Keep on clicking.
Gorgeous capture! The butterfly is pretty.
I’ve rarely seen such a detailed, perfect photo of a butterfly. I love your description, too.
Beautiful!
Great shots!
Gorgeous shot (gorgeous butterfly, too!) He really blends in well that flower. And I love the soft hairy edges of his wings.
Wonderful colors and very beautiful images. Great photowork.
wow! this is an absolutely beautiful shot. i’ve never seen a silvery butterfly before.
wow! stunningly beautiful!
thanks for visiting my blog.
How did you convince the butterfly to stay still long enough to snap its photo? 🙂
SHADOW, BE TRUE
My shadow has come out to play.
Oh, shadow, please don’t run away!
Stay here by my side,
Pretend you’re my bride—
Be true to me now and alway!
