Up Close and Personal

We had a butterfly migration move through at the end of last week.  The small, black butterflies with orange and white markings are now gone, but I tried to take some close-up pictures while they were here.  I couldn't get too close before they flew away.

While looking for butterflies, I also saw a bee on a dandelion.


I found it much easier to take close up pictures of stationary objects, like budding leaves on the trees, a piece of driftwood, and wildflowers (aka dandelions and wild strawberry blossoms).





 
 


  

  

  
While I was taking pictures, the boys were busy playing in the sandbox
