I Just Remembered...

I took this photo outside a few days ago. Butterflies are easier to photograph than hummingbirds and they seem to like the asters!

Now because of the rain the flowers are all lying splat on the ground. Oh well. I guess it was their time to go.

This is the first monarch butterfly I've seen this year. Usually I see swallowtails, which are also beautiful. ^^

really nicely taken photo! :) I find butterflies hard to photo >>;; The flowers don't really look flattened to me? Maybe it's the angle of the photo.

Thank you! ^_^ The butterflies around here seem to stay around for a few minutes rather than fluttering off in a hurry and it gives me time to get my camera!

I actually took the photo before the rain started. XD Now the asters are laid out on the lawn like a bulls-eye!
