Hello all!
This one has a real funny story with it. My 11 year old Alice in wonderland look alike Janel saw these two butterflys and held out her hand the twosome fluttered and hopped on and Janel was delighted and I shot this macro here. She was beeming "Arn't they pretty Mommy?" she asked.. and I responded with a laugh and Big smile , "yes They are beautiful and are infact right now making more future catipillers that will then turn into butterflys !!.. see, they are fluttering about doing a mating dance in your HAND!!" LOL! at that she looked horrified and screamed and quickly dropped the two lovers back into the bushes.. and i got an earful , "EWWWW HOW COULD you MOMmm LET THEM DO Such a thing IN MY HAND!! THATS just soo GROSS!!" ... she is still a bit freaked out by it more then even the time the baby hamster was born in her hand .. haha it makes me laugh to think of it when I see this shot so thought I would share it with you today ! :O)
* looks best at full sized view thank you!...
Thank you for all your time and comments !
Love to you all!
((( Big hugs )))

Funny story, :), very nice picture !, thanks for sharing
Great shot, and the story is priceless!
Your story is very funny. I know my daughter would have reacted the same way at that age. But I'm amazed that you got such a sharp picture from a handheld subject. Very impressive and great shot!!! I've been running around after the butterflies here, but so far, no luck. I appreciate your skill!
Congrats on an unusual image and anecdote :)
What a cute story, but let's not bum Janel out anymore than she already is! ;) Remarkable capture Kimmers! Bravo!
wow, such a great shot and so handtame!!!
Oh my god, this is just hilarious !!! I absolutely LOVE this story. So funny and so like a child her age. Really enjoyed reading that. It is truly a belly laugher. I cant stop laughing. LOL !!!!! I am still not getting your Ebots so I assume you are not getting mine. So many people's work that I am missing. This one is priceless and I am glad I thought to check your gallery. BIG HUGSSSSSSSSSSS
OK, so I'm starting to believe it. You have something with butterflies, as with all nice animals. They like you and trust you. But then, who wouldn't? Wonderful picture!
WOW... Your daughter should consider herself very special that on two seperate occasions life has started in her hands. =) Great story.. and really great shot. +++
Cool story and macro image Kimmers ... LOL. We all live and learn.
So you told her about the birds and the bees, but not horny butterflies? ; ) Funny, your hand doesn't look like a water bed! : P LOL!!! Great story!!!
Fantastic macro shot and very funny story! Well done!
Mmmm, shouldn't you have clicked "nudity" here? Such explicit sexual content is shocking! But seriously, looks like 3 butterflies here. Youve got 2 orange & black ones here doing the wild thing, and then theres a mysterious red & black wing behind them. Whats that one up to?? Perhaps its a butterfly orgy going on here! Whatever, great shot!
Very beautiful macro shot of these butterflies.
