Hello ladies,
I was invited to play 20 questions with the 24/7 Mom. Heather posted my responses in a little feature about painted Lady fingers. Check out her blog too when you make the visit. She hosts some great giveaways, writes about family life, and reviews products geared towards adults and children alike.
What I found so incredibly sweet is that her six-year-old daughter Katiana loves my nails and sits in front of the computer and looks through all the blog pictures. I hope she is charmed by this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly and that you are as well!
It was interesting to me how the shape of a butterfly with partially opened wings mimics the shape of the stems leading to their favorite flowers.
I don't know if many of you realize how close I am to garden fauna when I take my pictures. This butterfly did not seem to mind my attention. When I posed my hand close to her, she backed around and ruffled the edges of her tail against my fingertips.
She didn't fly away. She stayed and enjoyed the flowers long after I was lured by the bright colors of other blooms in the distance.
I will be back tonight with a manicure post.
Happy painting, ladies!

ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for theblog to check out. That beautiful butterfly!!! Awesome pics!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics! Beautiful butterfly :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Diana! A gorgeous lady you've met here.
ReplyDeleteWe have a smaller version of those butterflies here. Totally alike but a tad smaller and with more black. They're called "Machaon". There used to have lots of them when I was a little girl. Now because of chemical insecticides used by farmers they have practically disappeared from my region. I've only seen one this year. Just one. It's dramatic when species rarify. But no one seem to care. Last year we had two Machaon catterpilars on our dill in the garden. At least I know 2 get born. But that's not enough.
I'm not astonished you could almost touch this beauty. Butterflies are sometimes very social and friendly. I remember one that came on my hand last summer (it was a Inachis io). I could make lots of very close-up pictures. He seemed to like being on my hand. Then all of a sudden, it disappeared in the joyful sky.
I think she was admiring your nails! Butterflies have such beautiful patterns but...psst, here's a secret, I'm a bit scared of them~!
ReplyDeleteThat butterfly is beautiful and it's coloring contrasts perfectly with the purple flowers behind it. Your nails look great as always!
ReplyDeleteA VERY beautiful butterfly! Cool that she 'posed' ever so sweetly for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing the 20 questions with me! I loved your answers!
ReplyDeleteAnd the pictures are gorgeous! Katiana said she likes the ones the best that have your nails by the butterfly! :) And she loves your nails again!
Wow, its really gorgeous!!! You must be some kind of animal whisperer. First the bunny and now this very pretty butterfly.

ReplyDeleteIt really looks to me like you live in a fairytale. =D
ReplyDeleteI love your flowers and butterflies pics, they are such amazing creatures.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful butterfly. Your truly blessed to be able to be so close to all the creatures in the garden. You take such beautiful photos of your friends. I so enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nihrida...you live in a fairytale and all the animals flock to you. :) Such lovely photos, and an interesting interview!
ReplyDeleteoo, very pretty! I rarely see butterflies here, and even then, they're usually very small (though still pretty!), and flit around so fast you can't see any details. Lucky you to see so many gorgeous flowers and animals!
ReplyDeleteThat butterfly is beautiful :3 you have a way with animals!
ReplyDeletewow beautiful photos as usual!
