from our trip to Queensland.
Enjoying a 'Chelsea Gem' Lantana,
or the nectar from 'Geisha Girl'.
They are so very different to the butterflies we have in cooler
areas.
Even the simple browns have bright markings.
I am sorry I could not get a better picture or the irridescent
blues on this one. A little further north they are brilliant blue
all over flitting about like so many shining sapphires.
All photos enlarge for a better view.

I love this sequence. I think you did a great job capturing the varieties of butterflies. It will be a while before butterflies appear in part of the world. I find them hard to photograph even when they are here.

Beautiful photos Arija! Although lantana is considered a pesty plant, I remember we had a hedge of it in our yard as a child, and it was always covered in butterflies.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful photos of stunning butterflies. Takes me back to my youth when they(butterflies) gave me such joy in my solitude(aloneness). Thank you for sharing them Arija.
ReplyDeleteSmiles
Beautiful butterflies !!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo !
Happy week
Stunning captures, Arija! I think I like the black and white butterfly the best (maybe it's just the colors in the photo?), even though they are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Just look at all those beautiful butterflies! I am so impressed. I cannot wait for warmer weather when we will once see these beautiful creatures flittering about the gardens. These are magnificent shots!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses♥
OMGoodness, fabulous photos! I did not dare enlarge them for fear of fainting from sheer delight. Hope you feel better soon. **kisses** Deb
