I wanted to share a few of the butterflies that I have photographed locally. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

Why the grass always appear greener on the other side? Really, its not that butterflies back here are not beautiful or varied, but still yours look so much more beautiful! Sure, credit goes to your photography as much as to these beautiful butterflies. Very nice collection.
Thanks for your comment-I am sure you have some wonderful butterflies too ;-)
What a lovely collection and fabulous photos. Love the Common Blue covered in dew, and I see what you mean about the tatty Silver-washed now! Clouded Yellows have such funky eyes and you can't beat a great photo of a Peacock - those ones are stunning. I haven't even seen a Common Blue this year and since the weather turned wet and then cooler, there are not so many butterflies around. Hopefully it will pick up!
Not using reply option ;-)
Thanks for your lovely comments here. Yes, I didn't actually see a pristine clouded yellow the day I photographed them but there are lots of common blue here, saw some just yesterday. Still time of course-I found a fresh batch of large white larvae on my nasturtiums yesterday!
Hi JJ, they are all just stunning, I keep going over them and I can not choose, thank you for posting such great photos.. do you get the idea I like them :)

Hi Amanda-thanks so much for the uplifting comment here. You are very kind with your words...
Absolutely stunning JJ!! A fantastic variety and each is beautifully photographed! Love the Brimstones in particular and the dewy blue too!
