They are beautiful birds :-)

ReplyDeleteHi Eileen-
ReplyDeleteSuperb snaps in this post as well.
I have never seen a Cardinal in her nest - how beautiful.
Thanks for hosting.
Happy WE!
Peace :)
Beautiful butterflies! Thanks for hosting this linkup.
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen!
ReplyDeleteDet är svårt att fotografera fjärilar, de sitter sällan stilla framför fotografen. Du har tagit jättefina bilder på vackra fjärilar!
Your butterfly images are exceptionally beautiful. I wonder how could you manage to have the threesome together!
ReplyDeleteOh, those butterflies are just gorgeous! The Great Spangled Fritillary is especially appealing to me. Probably because I don't see that many of them.
ReplyDeleteThese photo's are outstanding. I see you're another awesome photographer. Have been seeing you at Debbie's place, and thought I would visit. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds and butterlies! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed this post! Love Mrs. Cardinal on the nest. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteohhhhhhhh loved those flutterbys.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, but I look at Ruby-throated Hummingbird, fantastic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterfly shots. Hope your 4th and extended weekend was a good one.
ReplyDeleteHummingbirds and butterflies are my favorites this time of year - I've seen more of them today than I have all summer. I'm not sure why.
ReplyDeleteI hope you've had a good weekend - These storms have been crazy lately, haven't they?
Hello Eileen, I made it! It has been a whirlwind of a weekend. Tour critters today a delightful, and each content in their own little spot within nature. You have a talent of sharing such fun critters for us. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteI love your butterfly photos. We have so many of them this year but none that would sit still for a photo :-)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteHello again Eileen. I guess you are not doing as many posts at the moment. But, I took a second look at your 10 years and enjoyed every moment. You did well to spot that Cardinal pretending she's not there.
