Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Good Fences and NF Winged
I have some more photos to share from my Hershey Gardens visit.. While at Hershey I was lucky to include some sky and fence shots for Skywatch Friday and Tex's Good Fence memes..Some other shots were of the moon from my yard and of course I had to throw in a yardbird.
The day before I took a shot of the almost full moon and the almost Supermoon..
Before leaving for Hershey Gardens, I had to check out my yard birds. It seems I have become overrun with these House Sparrows.. This one is sitting on the pokeberry bush..

Another prettie from the Hershey Butterfly House.. A Queen butterfly..
The entrance to the children's garden and walkway to the butterfly house..this shot include a clear sky and some pretty fences too.
For Tex's Good Fence meme... here is a fence with some pretty roses was all around the pond.
For the NF Winged part of my post. I am sharing another one of my favorite butterflies..It is called the Zebra Longwing..
Another shot of the Zebra Longwing...It is beautiful!
This colorful moon was also taken the morning before the actual supermoon..I like the color of this setting moon..The moon shots were all taken hand held using my Canon SX40HS, no special lenses were necessary.
I hope you enjoyed my post and photos

These are beautiful pictures, Eileen.
The moon is really great two different colors.
Single-handedly created the night and the other in the morning.
The butterflies I like also, especially on photo three.
Best regards, Irma
Really lovely photos, superb butterflies.
"Snap" with the House Sparrow Eileen, but I hope they don't invade your Bluebirds houses as David says they do. The Zebra Longwing is a real beauty, such a different shape from most butterflies I see.
Good morning, Eileen
Great photos--I really like the Zebra Longwing. You had some great weather for visiting. I don't think you get too many NOT humid days in Pennsylvania. Good deal!
Lovely garden to take pictures.. Really beautiful.. A regard..
Good Morning, Eileen. I love your moon photos. The Children's Garden looks very inviting; what a charming place to spend the day. Love your butterflies too. Hope you have a nice day.
Why am I so hungry for chocolate now? Hehehe! What beautiful captures, it looks like a lovely place to visit!
Wasn't that a spectacular moon! I would love to see that butterfly house.
Oh, I would love to visit the garden to see the butterflies!
Belíssimo jardim, florido, pássaros e a rainha lua., maravilhosa! bjs, chica
The striped butterfly appears to come from the world of fairytales. What a beautiful setting and lovely photos.
Great pictures! We have seen the same moon!:)) It was beautiful!
Have a nice day!
gorgeous butterflies. i love the zebra blur ... so neat ... he was ready to fly. ( :
is this near the Hershey park? that is Pennsylvania right? i wonder how we missed it? i think we were there maybe 6 years. there was the smell of chocolate in the air ... so yummy.
HERSHEY Gardens? Wow....I would be there in a flash. Love the name, and loved the butterfly images Eileen.
As ever, some magnificent photos, Eileen! I just love the Zebra Longwing ... so unlike a butterfly I have ever seen, and the stunning Queen Butterfly. I wonder if you have Emperors, too? Thank you for your kind comments on my blog.
As you know, I love your shots of the moon . . . and the color on the last shot is wonderful.
I really like the little sparrow sitting amongst the Pokeberry . . .
Oh My your moon shots are incredible. I used to be able to get some good ones and then set the setting on camera a little differently and now all I get is a big white spots and I have tried to figure out what I changed bit to no avail. Those butterflies are wonderful, we do not have that variety here~
Beautiful photos, Eileen! Really like your moon shots, and those butterflies are amazing too. Your fences are nice too!
Wow; I love the way you started this post and closed with the moon shots♡♡♡
How sweet the Sparrow is and the Hershey Butterfly is gorgeous :-) I am SO amazed by the Zebra Longwing; how unique and elegant it is♬♬♬
PS> I could take photos of the butterfly I've never seen; looking forward to post p;)
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*

What beautiful butterflies you captured.
That is a lovely fence surrounding the garden.
The butterfly photos are such lovely captures. Nice job.
And the fence around the roses is so lovely, too, dressed in white.
i do like the look around the garden area. :) pretty longwing, too! we've had a bunch of house sparrows this year. lovely moon shots!
Oh, I did enjoy these...I really loved the entrance photo...loved the sunflowers on either side of the entrance. And the Hershey Kisses on top!
Your moon shots are impressive Eileen. I love the butterflies and the little sparrow. I have been noticing a lot of sparrows lately, they love splashing around in the bird bath. Very pretty shots at Hershey. Happy day to you :)
Each shot is so nice in its on way. I loved all your presentation.
Every shot a beauty. What a wonderful place to visit. I like the Butterflies. That Zebra one is so exotic. MB
Love your moon shots! And the butterfly photos are very nice too.
Beautiful place, butterfly, bird and moon shots. This is a place I would love to visit this place one day.
Beautiful shots. Love those butterflies.
My yard is full of house sparrows this week! Beautiful butterflies, always admire your moon shots!
Hi Eileen!! Wonderful shots, as always. Love the butterfly shots,particularly the Queen butterfly!!
These are all lovely captures. Enjoyed seeing them all.
Lovely moon shots! And the butterflies and fences a beautiful!
Beautiful photos, Eileen. I love the moon and the gorgeous butterflies.
More gorgeous shots from Hershey! Love the butterflies. Sure wish I had known to go there when we were up that way! Love the moon, too!
You take the best moon shots!!
Oh love those butterfly shots.
I think we're going to have to get to Hersey Gardens one of these days. It looks absolutely beautiful, and your photos are wonderful. I also like your moon pictures.
Beautiful set! What's there not to like? :) That zebra longwing is a pretty butterfly. I've only seen them in butterfly houses though.
Gorgeous photos, Eileen... Love seeing the moon, the butterflies, the birds , etc... Gorgeous Gardens... It's neat also that they have a Children's Garden. It is so important for children to learn about gardening and develop an interest in it at a young age... Love it!
Hugs,
Betsy
Isn't the sign and gate of the children's garden pretty! And you've taken the most beautiful photos of the moon. We didn't get to see it but I know I can always count on you! Hugs!
I love your moon shots They are so gorgeous, and the garden center with butterflies is such a delight!
Wow, that's nice. I love the butterflies !
Wonderful captures for the day, Eileen, as always! I love the moon shot and the birds and butterflies are so colorful and delightful! Thanks as always for sharing the beauty! Have a great weekend!!
The Zebra Longwing is also a resident of the Butterfly Farm I go to when in Aruba! Awesome moon shots, Eileen...:)JP

Great shots of the moon and I Love the butterfly gardens.
Your photos of the moon are amazing, and I cannot remember enjoying garden and butterfly photos more than I have in this series. This is definitely a place I'll have to add to my list!
I hope you've had a good week, Eileen--It's autumn in August, isn't it?
Awesome moon shots and of course pretty butterflies!!
Fantastic shots of the moon. Also love the captures in the garden. The butterflies are beauties.
A nice selection of photos. I've never been to Hershey Gardens.
Great photos of the moon! That's a gorgeous butterfly! Very pretty gardens.
Lovely views - the little bird is so sweet. Awesome moon. When I see the words "Children's Garden" I often think of sweet little children sprouting up from the ground.
The gardens look a great place for butterflies and plants. My husband took some photos of the supermoon and said it really was brighter than when it was more distant.
Beautiful garden with lovely butterflies. Fantastic shot of the moon.
Lovely photos! Great shots!!
I really love your moon shots because I haven't seen a moon in forever. Alaska in the summer is not a good place for lunar viewing.
The Zebra Longwing is Florida's State Butterfly. And thus is one of the few I recognize. Beautiful shots.
Hello Eileen!!
Great shots!I like the pictures of the supermoon and the butterflies!The fences are very preety!Have a happy day!Hugs!
Dimi...
Hershey Gardens looks like a wonderful spot! Love your moon shots!!
Wonderful shots - what a glorious moon!
Lovely shots of the Hershey Gardens! When we visited there it was in October so a little different views, but the garden was still beautiful. We've been to Hershey a couple of times for car shows, and the rides were all closed, but we did get to enjoy Hershey World. A fun place to visit. Gorgeous shots of the butterflies too.
That butterfly picture where amazing!!
Have a nice weekende Eileen:)))
Awesome moon shots, Eileen.
The Hersey Gardens is a wonderful place to visit.
That butterfly is amazing!!!!
(ツ) from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!
That's a pretty butterfly. How nice to have a children's garden. We have a bumper crop of House Sparrows, too.
A wonderful garden! So beautiful! Great shots ... I love the third one!
oohhhhh it all looks so familiar, so beautiful!!
awesome shots of the moon!!
I thought you'd probably get some amazing moon photos! :-) The birds and butterflies and flowers are a fun bonus! That Queen butterfly shot is my absolute favorite! So beautiful.
What a lovely place! The butterflies are beautiful, as well as the blooms. Looks like a place I would enjoy visiting. Have a wonderful weekend, Eileen!
I love those pretty butterflies. :)

Have a great weekend, Eileen!

That is a beautiful picture of the queen butterfly Eileen, lovely composition against the purple blossom.
Really great to see. The moon is beautiful and in your last picture, the moon is just fantastic. Beautiful butterflies and orange in picture 3 is great! The other pictures of the entrance and the plants are really beautiful to see. A very beautiful piece of nature:-)
