Today in my garden, starring the Gulf Fritillary butterfly

Gulf fritillary butterfly

This Gulf Fritillary was snoozing on the buddleia this morning, waiting for the rays of the sun to hit him and warm him up. When that happens, the white spots on the wings turn out to be silver. Butterflies and hummingbirds love the nectar from buddleias, also known as butterfly bush. But the Gulf Fritillary lays its eggs on passionflower vine. Ours has been decimated, but that's okay--it's there to provide caterpillar food.

I went back outside this afternoon and took some more photos to make a little Gulf Fritillary show.

Hi Robin,

How beautiful. You got some great shots. Did you use Real Estate Shows for the slide show?

Hi, Vickie and Lynda:

I do love butterflies, and I love taking photos of them. Real Estate Shows is a quick and easy way to make a slide show with music. I use it for all my listings, rentals included.

Thanks for your comments!

Cheers,

Robin
