Bella & Butterflies

Oooh Mommy's going outside! Can I come out? Can I come out? Can I come out?

Sorry little puppy, you can't come in the backyard with me. You could come out if you would be a good little girl and let me put a leash and collar on you, but you won't, so you'll just have to wait a little bit.

I just want to take a couple of shots of these butterflies and then I'll be in. Please stop banging on that door. You be a good girl and go lay down. I won't be too long. And then I'll give you a nice treat.

Where's my little girl? Sorry I took longer than I thought. I got distracted with the metal detector. Bella, where are you?

What the hell is this? What did you do?!

Who me? I didn't do nuthin'....

Now where's that treat you promised me?

Butterflies

Don't have much time lately seeing as I'm holding myself to a deadline and all, so I'll leave you with these butterflies...flitting around just like me...

Butterflies

Although I had every intention of spending some time today posting pictures from the Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanical Garden I got sidetracked by butterflies instead. Yesterday as I was walking along the Roanoke River in Salem I saw a bundle of butterflies just resting on a rock. As I went closer to explore and take some photos I must have disturbed them because they all took off and flew around me. I felt like I was in a Disney movie or something. They checked me out and after seeing I would cause them no harm they landed again along the banks of the river. It was a really unusual experience and I'm glad I got to capture some of it.













Even the ducks were amused.
