Flies of the butter kind

goofry

Went out hiking this weekend looking for some wildflowers, butterflies, birds to shoot. Hiked a couple of miles, saw just a few of each and got poison ivy and chiggers.

I was driving back home to my parents where my son and I were staying for the weekend and noticed that the fence row on the front of their property was covered with wildflowers and butterflies.

If only I had seen this first, I could have saved myself a few hours in the heat and all the itching. Oh well, I had a good time, so no real complaints.

Here are a few shots from the fence row and a Hawk that flew by their house thrown in for good measure.










Unfortunately, I had to crop this one quite a bit. The just won't let you get as close as the butterflies will.

Thanks as always for looking.

Very nice job with the butterflies, and the hawk as well.

Nice set. Isn't it funny what we can sometimes find close to home.
