I Heart Macro Sunday - Butterflies

Hello all, this is I Heart Macro Sunday and it is all about butterflies.  Mom was lucky enough to take pictures of a butterfly Wednesday night getting drunk on the pollen in the lilies.  I was so excited to share this pictures because you can see the pollen on the wings and you can see the butterfly dip its head into the flowers in a couple of the photos.  It was so exciting to see these the next day, mom done good and I guess I will keep her.

'Twould ease - a Butterfly - by Emily Dickinson

'Twold ease - a Butterfly
Elate - a Bee
Thou'rt neither
Neither - thy capacity





But, Blossom, were I
I would rather be
Thy moment
Than a Bee's Eternity




Content of fading
Is enough for me
Fade I unto Divinity





And Dying - Lifetime
Ample as the Eye
Her least attention raise on me


Join the fun at Waterstone Studio or go and see what everyone has taken a picture this week.

    What beautiful shots - your Mom is an amazing camerawoman! That butterfly must have enjoyed all that lovely nectar to hang around for all those gorgeous pix. How lovely to be able to see all the pattern on the wings, and so clearly!

    Wow! So many gorgeous pictures of butterfly! These are really exceptional. :) Some of the best I've seen of butterflies! Seriously! You should get like three of them printed up and framed together. It would be a gorgeous set.
