Photo Stories [Wordless Wednesday]

White Admiral

Sometimes a photo can tell a story without using any words. Here is a series of Butterfly photos that I took and doesn’t need a description.

Sunrise American Lady

A Gray Comma somewhere in this photo!

Crab Spider and Pecks Skipper

I really like the sunrise American Lady photo.-I haven’t ever seen one of those-at least not that I know of. I’ve really never observed a dragonfly eating anything-I’ll have to keep my eyes open this summer.

Such pretty butterflies. I know absolutely nothing about neither them nor dragonflys and am going to make sure I learn more about them this summer.

A nice variety – I can’t believe that Gray comma – I bet it had to move for you to see it! Cool!

I cheated to find the Gray Comma. I didn’t really mean to, but I had the cursor on it before I saw the note. Very nice pictures.

I had to cheat and still couldn’t make out the exact outline of the Gray Comma. Very neat photos and it really makes me want spring and summer to come fast.

Great butterflies, but I was also quite impressed with that crab spider. I’ve never seen one like that.

The first line of “Sunrise American Lady” starts off with “It was a dark and stormy night.”

I see at least 3 stories in the White Admiral picture, and the rest, some fun and scary stories! The last two especially.

Do you know what bird left those footprints by the white admiral?

@ Larry – Thanks and we do get them from time to time! I was super lucky with that photo!
@ Kallen – Butterflies are the new birds . . . . they are fun to identify for sure!
@ Bird Girl – Thanks and I saw it land (how I knew where to take its picture)! Actually I was only able to get one picture before it flew away . . . this is what I captured!
@ Shelley – Thanks and that was actually taken in my front yard!
@ ncmountainwoman – no worries and just glad you were able to find it! Thanks
@ Linda – it was very camo . . no doubt about that!
@Right blue – thanks and we find them all the time, I should take more pictures of them for you!
@ Red – Thanks and sounds like a great start for the photo! I agree with the Admiral photo! 🙂
@ Robin – Thanks and you will notice in the winter I always try to bring summer into the picture but not the winter during the summer months!
@ Ruthie – I think they are crow prints Ruthie! Thanks

While I’m smitten with butterflies, those dragons and damsels get me all excited – esp. the ones YOU photograph.

Great photos. Looks like the dragonfly was eating the spring azure. The gray comma was very hard to find (just slightly darker than the trunk). I wish it were spring now.

That sneaky Comma sat right on the edge of the peeling bark! Love the morning dew on the American Lady.
