Butterflies Again

On Tuesday I made my first trip out to the bog on my new scooter. About a month ago a good friend loaned me her scooter to try out and I’d made several trips to the bog on it. But this was my first photography trip on my scooter.
It was a bright, clear day and the butterflies were out and busy. I think there were more than any of my previous trips. I found a spot on the boardwalk in a little shade so sat down and got a good many shots from there. One or two of the butterflies were checking me out along with my long lens. I saw a Buckeye butterfly that day. I’d not found any of those before then. The majority are Swallowtails with a sprinkling of Monarchs.
It was a really hot day so after nearly 2 hours and about 400 photos I walked down to the river. I saw two or three of the huge banana spiders I talked about in my first blog entry. After previously finding the little crab on the tree trunk I was on the lookout for any of them and was not disappointed. The one I spotted was smaller than the one I photographed and further away so I didn’t get any good shots of it. I was really lucky that other time!
All in all it was a very successful trip to the bog. To see more of the butterflies look at my photography website. Click on the thumbnail to see the album. Enjoy!
