@goosehd great shots

@goosehd Monarch! One of my favorites. I smile when I see them flutterby. I've been thinking of getting one tattooed on me for years now...

SKT

@Oaktavia do it! They are so awesome. Kids and I are going to put in a milkweed patch and make some monarch habitat in our yard.

@goosehd @Oaktavia Got this action shot a few weeks ago while walking the dog. This butterfly circled me several times…enough that I could get out my phone and snap him in flight. No idea why he was interested in us

Oaktavia

@SKT I just need to find a spot lol maybe somewhere on my neck...I found that monarchs seem to have an otherworldly majesty to them. They really are remarkable creatures.

@endo oh that’s nice and creepy.

A couple oldies. One was fishing on the Potomac up near Sheperdstown, and the other during a garage jam session. Hope my buddy doesn't mind his pic on here lol. That guy landed right on his face like that.

Oaktavia

@WhiskeySandwich That's crazy that swallowtail landed on his face like that. I went to Shepherd Uni during my undergrad...spent some time down on the Potomac and now I live right on the river a bit north of Shepherdstown.

@endo time to burn the cottage down.

WhiskeySandwich

@Oaktavia Yeah, I guess it liked him. The other one landed right on my hand too.

Its a great spot up there! I love the Potomac that far north. We have family right around the corner from there and try to make it up as often as we can.

Actually, my grandfather who lives up that way is an artist who has works all over the state. Paint and sculpture. Check out Endion Art if you get a chance. Your line of work.
