Thank you Inwood Butterfly Sanctuary for letting my have two butterflies (already expired...no butterflies were harmed) to use in my photographs. They will be used in many more works.

The butterfly sanctuary in my town is opening up again this week! Prepare yourself for my first attempt at insect photography 😄. I'm so excited. #photography #naturephotography #amateurphotographer #butterflyphotography #butterflysanctuary

Monarch Grove Butterfly Sanctuary near Monterey

A dreamy garden scene captured through a leafy archway at sunrise. The stone path winds through vibrant flower beds filled with roses, hydrangeas, and other colorful blooms. Butterflies flutter midair alongside a hummingbird, caught in golden sunlight filtering through the foliage. The garden is lush, green, and meticulously maintained, evoking a sense of peace and enchantment.

Step through the garden arch and into a blooming paradise where butterflies dance and hummingbirds greet the morning sun.

Another Ca Pipevine Swallowtail eclosed today!
Such a delight that she lingered and nectared before taking flight! There are around 20 chrysalis remaining
