(And of course, I took a picture of the bee on the goldenrod!)
This one is probably a yellow tiger swallowtail, at least from pictures on the Internet.
The picture below is probably a meadow fritillary butterfly (what do I know?) but I thought it was pretty anyway, in the fall colors!
This beautiful blue and black butterfly was the prettiest of all and the most difficult to catch in a picture. Here it is on Joe Pye weed. It may be a female Diana butterfly.
Anyway with no bees, I thought I'd share these.
And below is the lone bee on goldenrod!
I know what you mean about getting a photo of the blue butterfly. I have tried too, but if you get too close they flitter away. Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures,nice greetings from Germany.
ReplyDeletePretty pictures. I love Joe Pye so much that I intentionally grow it all over my yard. It must be wonderful to suddenly come across it in the wild.
ReplyDeleteJoe Pye weed is all over Georgia....so we don't come across it in the wild suddenly - it's everywhere, it's everywhere! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Asheville...You always have such great pictures throughout your blog, but these of the butterflies are particularly wonderful!
