Hi snap! What a delicate photos! So fragile and beautiful! Thanks! I just added a video by David Attenborough about the mating of snails on my post. Jedediah told me about it.
Lovely. Your limes look about the same size as my tomatoes. How nice to have citrus growing in your own backyard! Mr. Dragon is talented, I like his easy with the brush, he makes it look easy, anyway!

Finally, one of the beautiful butterflies visiting Musashi's Garden decided to be still long enough to get its portrait taken!
[Image] I took lots of photos of this Black Swallowtail. Most of them were blurry. This little lady was in a big hurry to eat and didn't slow down much.

She really liked the zinnias.

Here she is in all her glory hanging on to our tangerine tree. By the time I opened the patio door to get closer - she was gone.

Butterflies don't stay in one place for long, but when it happens and they're captured in a photo, they make beautiful camera critters. Great shots!

Snap: I always think dark colored butterflies are so special.

I've been sitting in my garden this afternoon just lazily watching all the butterflies. One of these stopped by briefly, too.
Nice captures!

Great capture. Butterflies are harder to photograph than people think ... they are easily spooked away.

Beautiful. I don't see as many butterflies here in our new home, and the one that I have seen won't wait for me to take a picture!
Thanks for stopping by!
