I am sharing one of my Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and various species of Butterflies.

Enjoyed the hummer and butterflies Eileen. Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend.
Love all of them. :)
Thanks for hosting!
Oh dear, so beautiful!!!
All your butterfly images are stunning Eileen. I hope you have a lovely weekend and thanks for hosting.
Beautiful shots you got!
Happy weekend...
Cheers, Firasz
Nature at its best. Nice pictures.
Good Morning, Eileen.
I'm so happy you're having butterflies. They are sure in short supply anymore, aren't they? I used to have hundreds at a time on all my flowers, now there is just the occasional one. It's so sad.
Hope you have a good weekend
Hello Eileen!:) Lovely captures of the Hummers and gorgeous butterflies images. How great to see three different species in the same shot, and I'm glad you got to see the Monarch, perhaps the most beautiful of them all.:)
I haven't seen many hummingbirds this year. Your photos are so sweet. Looks like the butterflies are enjoying the butterfly bush. I hope you enjoy the weekend, Eileen. Thanks for hosting.
Eileen, is it OK if I share two of the posts I made this week?
Loving your post today Eileen.
The butterflies are simply beautiful and the hummingbirds gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing and hosting Saturday's Critters today.
Have a truly wonderful Weekend :)
Hello Eileen! What a delightful mosaic in hearts! Your photos of the butterflies are just stunning! The sunlight streaming through is just lovely!
Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend!
Shoe de fotos, como sempre por aqui! Lindo fim de semana! beijos, chica
Butterflies, flowers and bright blue skies - beautiful!

My word, I have struggled to see any butterflies this year (it was even commented upon in our news the other day) so you really scored! Love the collage cutout... have a great weekend, Eileen!~ YAM xx
I especially like the two Frits on the flower, so nicely staged and tack-sharp. I am seeing relatively few butterflies and fear that intensive spraying spurred on by the Zika panic may be the cause. There are certainly fewer mosquitoes despite our abnormally excessive rainfall. I hear thunder as I write!
Hello,
Wonderful photos of the birds and butterflies! The Monarch and The Swallowtail are so beautiful! I love them all :)
Happy Saturday, and enjoy your weekend!
What wonderful photos! I love how you captured four butterflies in one shot! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

I was just chasing one on the trail, but it wouldn't land.

Love your butterfly photos! Have a great weekend.
Hi Y'all
Love the butterflies. They have been so busy flitting about that my Humans hasn't been able to get a decent shot this year.
Y'all come on by
Hawk aka BrownDog
Am I glad I wished you a happy weekend. It returned these great pictures
Loved seeing the three butterfly varieties in one photo.
What a gem!
Buddy LOVES his hummers and is continually taking photos of them. They have battles on the front porch for their sugar water there are so many. Me, I go for the butterflies. As a child I was told that a butterfly is the soul of a loved one who has come back to check on me and say Hello. genie
Magnificent butterfly photos!
So beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing.
Greetings. Happy Weekend.
That second picture sums up my relationship with hummers!
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Hard to pick a favorite between the hummingbird or butterflies. Both are favorites! I've seen a few more Monarch's than in years past, so the effort to save them by providing more milkweed for them to eat and lay eggs on must be working.
Wow! Eileen, you got some great shots of the hummingbird and the butterflies. Love that first shot of the hummer ... he looks huge! I've linked up my moose post, but I know you already visited it (thank you!). Enjoy the rest of the weekend :)
Wendy
Great images, all so beautiful!
Many greetings.
Marvelous flying critters and the flowers too.
ah
I love flutterbys
Beautiful sommerflies !!
Have a nice sunday.

HI Eileen,
so beautiful to see this special hummingbirds. The butterflies, you´re catched, are amazing !
Best regards, Synnöve
I'm back Eileen...knocking on your door----
Thank you, kindly, for stopping by I'd Rather B Birdin' this weekend to add this post to the linking tool. It's always appreciated by us birders and nature lovers!!
Your pictures are fantastic. Seems our butterflies were less this year. People don't think much about the poison they use and how it affects nature. Hopefully it will stay well balanced.
Have a blessed week.
A beautiful day with so many beautiful critters.
Wow! Butterflies are awesome. How could you capture them so well?
Great shots of all the critters, Eileen, but I really liked the butterflies. Those monarchs are wonderful.
Thanks for hosting.
Good morning Eileen. I have seen a hummingbird sitting still only once. They are such busy little birds. My first monarch has finally shown up. I have planted lots of milkweed and other flowers for them. They are such spectacular butterflies. Have a great day Eileen. Christa
Beautiful butterfly shots..I'm jealous...The birds must get any that we have around here..
Fabulous photos of the butterflies - I'd love to have more in our yard - I'm working on that with plantings.
A wonderful variety of butterflies for you, that's for sure, Eileen!...:)JP
lovely to see your butterflies - not many over here this year. And of course we never get hummers (though we do get humming bird hawkmoths somethimes!)
Beautiful photos Eileen. Thanks for hosting! Have a great week!
Beautiful photos, Eileen! I especially love your Great Spangled Fritillary photo. Thanks again for hosting!
