carylwithay Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted February 15, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you Ece, PAUL AND IDUNA.. I took better ones with my Canon and a 400mm prime lens but I cannot post them here. It is quite a sight to see in person, Lots of butterflies are flying around as they emerge during the day. This is the time of year the wake and leave. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
