Cabbage White Butterflies

About a week ago I photographed this Cabbage White in my flowerbed at the front door. There also was a very small black butterfly that I tried to photograph but was not able to capture. It ended out being on me when I went back in the house, and scared me when it started down my leg. I was able to catch it, not with my camera though, and released it outside.

This past Saturday I was out photographing the Cabbage White butterflies in my yard.

Again I saw the small black butterfly, but again was not able to capture it with my camera.

But I did capture this action shot. Not very good photographically speaking,

but I just had to post it anyway.

No I did not know what I had until I got it in the computer.

This photo is where "Photos For Fun" comes in.

I can just see you running in circles after the black butterfly. (I do it too). These are wonderful photos. I saw several Butterflies over the weekend, I posted them this morning. I always think of you when I photograph them.

These are great captures, Leedra. Sometimes we don't know what we've gotten until we look at it on the computer screen.

Hi Lee, Beautiful photos of the Cabbage whites. I've seen them before but never knew their names...

How was the daylily festival??? Did you come home with tons of new ones????

Love you,

I love the cabbage whites! How funny that he thought your leg was good place to be. And turns out your camera was catching action they thought was private. :)
