Having lived most of my life in the northeast U.S., I am enjoying retired life in sunny Florida. I enjoy photographing many different kinds of things, but especially flowers and animals, including the beautiful birds found here in Florida. I am currently using a Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D camera, a Canon 55-250 mm telescopic zoom lens, and a Sony P10 Cyber-shot digital camera. My newest acquisition is a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, a point and shoot which I will be carrying in my purse.

So very pretty, Dot! I have not seen these around here.
Thank you Judy. I don’t think I’ve seen them around Dunnellon either, just at the butterfly museum.

Wow!! Amazing! Would love to see one of these!
Thanks very much, Gena. I’ve seen them only at the butterfly museum. They’re a pretty large butterfly, blue on the top of the wings only.

Wonderful capture of this beauty Dot. I have seen them here, but never have the camera at the right time.
Thanks Gabrielle. It was a little blurry, but it came out okay with a little editing. I was determined to use it! LOL

Great capture. Isn’t the museum awesome?
Thank you, Margaret. Yes it is. Next time I’m up there I want to go through the art museum that is next door. Harn, I think the name of it is.
