Not yellow, and not a bikini, but polka-dotted nonetheless
These pretty butterflies struck a pose and showed off their flashy polka-dotted wings. The Butterfly Pavillion in the Desert Botanical Gardens was alive with all sorts of gorgeous flowers and butterflies. Mary Lou, if you are reading this, I thought of you while visiting here. You would have LOVED all of the butterflies!! I believe the orange butterfly is a Queen, and the black is an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (dark).

ReplyDeleteGreat butterflies. Love the clarity and focus and of course the bokeh.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, from their antenna right down to their little polka dotted wings...
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the butterflies!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous shots. Butterflies are difficult to capture. They have a habit of flying away while your fumbling with your camera.
ReplyDeleteYou really got fantastic detail in both of these, how beautiful...
ReplyDeleteYou're right...I love these shots. You captured their beauty, gorgeous colors and polka dots!! (You have a great memory!!)
