Sharing agin with Kim’s August challenge: Flora and Fauna. I was out in my garden yesterday evening watching the bees and butterflies on my butterfly bush. I counted three swallowtails, five bees and four of these silver spotted skippers. Amazing how they all flutter so close to me. Another special moment in Dustin’s garden. I managed to capture a few of the skipper. I did not realize at the time I also captured my shadow. Do you see me?
I kept clicking the camera because you never know what you will get with these butterflies. Sometimes nothing at all since they move so quickly. This silver spotted skipper and I shared a special moment as he was looking right at the camera, upside down.
It was another happy and peaceful evening in the garden yesterday. It has just rained. I will go out a little later and see what treasures I can find. Have a great day everyone. Please don’t forget to pause and enjoy the little things in life. And share a smile with the people you meet even if you don’t know them. It could be the only one they get.

Wow, super shots there Carol. : )
Thank you very much Kim. I really need another butterfly bush.
I decided against picking up the black knight, my son and mom both have b-days this month.
Nice photo! Its hard to capture the butterflies.
Thanks, it takes a lot of patience.
I love the way that skipper and you are staring at each other 🙂
Me too Norman, we had a moment.
Glad you have peaceful evening. Love the photos!
Yes I did, thanks LaJenna.
very beautifully painted…
Thanks he was a beauty up close.
For some reason my tags are disappearing.
Weird about the tags. Someone else mentioned this recently.
Yes, sometimes they are there, other times not.
