There's a certain hollow below my house where the driveway crosses through the marsh. In the winter, it's often flooded and very icy; in the summer, there's just a hint of damp right there at the very edge. Something about that damp spot attracts butterflies, and that's where I found this injured tiger swallowtail.
He liked my shoe. . . .
And my sister's fingers. :)
I was also up at 3:15 in the morning yesterday to shoot the partial lunar eclipse. It was amazing to watch the shadow slowly cross the face of the moon! I only wish my camera was quick enough to get really nice low-light pictures--I would love to be able to show you the moon setting beside Mt. Hood while the sun rose on the opposite horizon.
"Moonlight is sculpture."

What a beautiful butterfly!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo's! The moon pictures are stunning! I recently had a little "photo shoot" of a poor cicada who seemed to be hurt. (As you did with your butterfly, I released him afterwards.) :)

Awesome pictures Hallie! Especially of the moon. I wanted to get up and see it but figured it was pointless since it's cloudy here. Thanks for giving me a chance to see it!
