    Beautiful nature shots with such delicate details. I adore the butterfly shot and that stick-like insect is amazing. You have captured the birds most beautifully too. I love the little flowers opening on that last capture, so tiny and perfect!
    Have a lovely day!

    Some great finds. I see lots of butterflies in my backyard garden but only when my camera is packed away in its case in the front loungeroom. Particularly love your last shot. A friend told me yesterday that there's a tamron 60mm f.2 lens that looks good. I must do a search on it today.

    All of these are just stunning! That lavender leading edge, and then the tinge of pale yellow on the white butterfly was such a nice thing to get to see with your close-up view. You'd never notice the lavender if you saw the little thing just flitting by! What we miss!

    You have blessed my early morning like you wouldn't believe!

    There are treasures for those who look and wait patiently in Granny's garden down by the sea...I simply love this! When I would visit 'my' Granny's garden it was the lush garden veggies, beans high on the pole, and 'mint'! planted all around the base of the home, at night when we would leave, the amazing aroma followed the waving of my Grandma Rose' arm held high as she would stand on the porch watching us until we were out of sight...

    All your photos are breathtaking and oh how I love bird shots!The colours of the parrot and flower simply brought the biggest smile to my face! It was so fun walking with you today, dear Karen!
    Hugs to your granny!
