Yesterday I noticed a butterfly traveling from one lavender plant to another and thought it was the perfect photo op to capture the essence of summer in my yard. I love the following photo because it looks like a fairy. Maybe it is... At one point, a bumble bee made an appearance, but for the most part, this papillon was the star of the show. I snapped over 100 photos and this one is my hands-down favorite. I'm considering having it framed. I love the lighting in this one... You can see it drinking lavender nectar with it's long butterfly tongue... A little experimentation with my photo editing program... I look forward to my next visitor. Well, as long as it's not a black bear...
