Painted Lady

beautiful image Keith

There you had a very elegant visit by this pretty Painted Lady. For a great photo she sat there model for you...

I love the blurred background and the pretty daisies Keith. The greens are a lovely colour and the butterfly is so beautiful. As they are getting to the end of their time, they seem to flit about less.
I hope you have a good Bank Holiday weekend. Take care.

Thank Rosa.......I'm pleased you like it. The daisies are actually Feverfew flowers...........we've been inundated with them this year.

très bien prise cette belle dame

Wonderfully presented, Keith !

Good work, love it.
Have a nice weekend, and stay safe.

Beautiful colours and details Keith.

Perfect DOF there, a beautiful lady indeed!

Not a single sighting in our area this year

This was my first one Colin.

Fantastic detail and lovely colours in a superb close up Keith, I like the perfect focus and the beautiful bokeh,
Have a nice weekend.

Prachtige Macro Keith Mooi WE

Hello, hello!! *Leaps on you for a friendly hug* How've you been, my friend?! :) You two--and family--doing well I hope?! Drat and blast the resurgence of Covid all over again, hopefully you guys aren't having to deal with quarantines again like some have. *shakes head* And the embarrassment of horrendous behavior in the US...it's so cringe-worthy! Well...they are enacting the whole "don't need them in the gene-pool" thing...

Your Painted Lady is nothing less than spectacular, Keith! And to think...it's wild!! You lucky stinker! I've only seen them in butterfly exhibits so good on you to get such a lovely picture in your very own garden! Huzzah!

Thanks for the visit! You have been in my thoughts and I do enjoy seeing your pictures and posts over on FB. It's been odd being disconnected from the internet for so long--all-told it was nearly a full month without a reliable connection. I don't mind to some degree but I have to admit that I really do need the 'net. I can't stand not looking up all of my curious-George questions! :D

Anyway, I'm hoping to visit a few more folk before lunch pulls me away--we're hoping to go for a long ride on the rails-to-trails path from our campground to a town called Banks nearby. Steve has a package waiting at the post office there (yes! you can pre-arrange shipments to po's near where you camp!) and we'd like to take our bikes there for the adventure and exercise instead of driving the truck over.

Have a wonderful weekend!! <3

Superbe
