Those Sulphurs do blend in with the foliage ... there are quite a few of the sunny darlings on my corner of Katy lately!

Lovely photos - thanks for sharing once again!

Jean, Figuring out how to shoot in all the light challenges has been a steeper learning curve then I anticipated! But it sure is fun to play with the settings! Your shots are all excellent and the Gulf Fritillary's underside is better...and yes i saw the two sulphurs in the very similar colored leaves. gail

Great shots! I envy your luck with the moonflower; mine went nowhere this year.

I'll have to pay more attention to the light differences between the seasons. Your photos are great! Of course the ones with the butterflies are my favorites.

Thanks for your nice comment on my blotanical win post. I like how you just did the small gracious thank you on your sidebar.

Oh, I love, love, love the photo of the moonflower!

I think it is so fun to play with light and shadow in photographs, it almost forces an artistic quality to the pictures.

Jean, For a "beginning" photographer, your photos are stunning. Great capture of all the butterflies--I find it very hard to catch them standing still. Even when they're sipping nectar from a flower, their wings keep moving. The fritillary is just beautiful.

I appreciate the fall light, too. In the summer I can't seem to get up early enough to take photos before the sun gets too bright:)

Hi Jean, this light is just amazing, being in the garden with the blue sky and softer angle of the sun is too enjoyable, I can barely stay in the house, when it's not raining that it. Your photos are simply wonderful, I love the underside of the fritt better too! The moonflower shot is perfection. I think the pink and gulf muhly is the same plant? Our fireworks turned red during the summer but is now showing that variegation once again since the temps cooled down some. It is annual here, but worth replanting again. So sorry it is on the cat's menu at your place. Maybe put it higher up, or offer some other grass as a substitute? Bait and switch! And congrats on your best LA win! :-)

it is so true about the grasses in the fall. I love the Gulf coast Muhly- a sea of pink foam, and the inland sea oats bending in the breeze. Your butterfly pictures are lovely. How do you get them to sit still.

I enjoyed your photos, Jean. The fall light is indeed a blessing, in more ways than one. It's just so much more comfortable when the sun turns back into the sun instead of the Death Star.

The pink muhly grass looks like an inpressionist's painting. And the two Cloudless Sulphur butterflies? I see 'em but it's like a where' Waldo game.

Beautiful shots, I love the underside of the Gulf Fritillary on your salvia and the dreamy shot of the bench.

I love autumn light too. It makes everything glow. Your photos of the butterflies are great, and yes, I did finally find that second butterfly!

Hi Jean,

I love your butterfly pictures, especially the Cloudless Sulphur one. They really do blend into the leaves, don't they. Beautiful shots.
