Butterflies and Bees and Flowers

July 9, 2010

I really got lucky, but I love this next shot!  It’s a Gulf Fritillary on a Purple Coneflower, with a blurred Black Eyed Susan in the background, and a Bee (not sure what kind).

Here’s another shot with the Gulf Fritillary on a Marigold.

This last shot I really like as well.  We have lots of Purple Coneflower right now, all growing because Leecy saved the seeds from last year.

I like how the eye is drawn to the foreground Coneflower and Butterfly, but it appears as a nice pleasing background with all the other Coneflowers slightly blurred.
