Paulie these are just great! As you can see I didn't quite catch the butterfly in my picture today but you sure did. The deep purple color of the flowers are fantastic. Is it a butterfly bush or do you know?
OK. Your yellow has higher visibility than mine.I just need to get a little closer.
Seriously, this is great shot as Tiger Swallowtails are notorious for not staying still, even when feeding.
Nice color balance with the flower.
I believe I would have saved this for lilac. hehehehe.
I did enjoy your blog and bookmarked it.
The dual spider webs and explanation was great too. Webs are not easy to photograph. You did a superb job. I really like spiders. I have done one introductory post on spiders and will do another in a few months.
This is FANTASTIC! Butterflies are one of my favorite subjects....and they are SO HARD to capture on camera! I tried yesterday and they were never still. Absolutley Wonderul!!!
JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration.
Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.
Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!
Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.
pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.
I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.
Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.
When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!
Found a few of them!
"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."
"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."
"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."
"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "
"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "
There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!
My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House.
Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.

Oh Paulie, what a wonderful shot of the butterfly!!! These are hard to get. Lovely.
Is that taken this yr? I love the flower that the butterfly is sitting on.

I like the yellow butterfly.
Oh, I like the juxtaposition of the yellow and purple. It really makes the yellow pop!
It is hard to capture these little buggers! Nice job here. Beautiful, richly-colored flowers, too.
Oh, Paulie, I would love to have one of these framed...
