Camera Critters – Fritillaries, Swallowtails, and Skippers, Oh My!
It was a great week for watching butterflies in our flower garden this week. In one afternoon, we spotted one Monarch, two Tiger Swallowtails, one Spicebush Swallowtail, three Cabbage Whites, one Summer Azure, one Red-Spotted Purple, two Great Spangled Fritillaries, one Orange Sulphur and two Pearl Crescents along with a couple varieties of skippers as well.
Great Spangled Frittilary
My daughter and I had a grand time following them around the yard, both snapping away. Today’s post will feature her photos as well as mine. (Isn’t it delightful to see your children enjoying something you really love?)

P.S. I'm going to check out your new blog.
I think the two of you photographed more butterflies in one day than I have seen all summer. It certainly is wonderful that you can pass your passion on to your daughter. A day like this makes good memories that your daughter will carry with her all of her life.
