Meri biem Maria!Cet été, j'ai pris beaucoup de photos de butterflies.In les mois d'été, la lumière est très bonne, ici au Portugal, mais dans le hiver, il peut être ennuyeux et pluvieux.
Juliana
Yes, I was pleased to have spotted them.So glad you like the colours.
The best butterflies this year, cheers.

Hi Sonjia, Yet again your photos live up to your blog name. They really are breathtaking and they are also beautiful, my favourite is the first I think. Sadly, it isn't one we see here.

Śliczny motyl i równie śliczne zdjęcia. pozdrawiam.
Pretty butterfly and equally beautiful pictures. Yours.
Good to have you back on 'site' even if you had to go to your "store". Don't talk about rain. My tiny front garden is flooded so your breath of fluttery sunshine is truly appreciated.

Hi Brown Eyes:)
Nice of you to stop by again, and thank you for your lovely comment.
I wanted to make a comment on Just A Woman, but as I do not want to create a Google profile, I was unable to do so.
Patience is something we both share
and being close to nature, listening to music and keeping busy
keep me positive and happy.This is not to say I have not had dark days
we all do, but I also have my faith, which is also restorative.
I am blessed, and thankful:)
Another amazing series of images of these fluttery creatures.
Just when the caterpillar thought its life was over, it became a butterfly...
Martha Z
Thank you Martha! It's my aim to photograph all European butterflies
and learn as much as I can about them.
Thanks for stopping by:)
Great macros. The wings look like parchment through filtered sunlight.The decorative patterns on the wings look more pretty when viewed from below.

This phenomenon is amazing,and surely one of natures truely miraculous transformations.
Thank you for your visit:)
Stiletto
Thank you Stiletto:)I appreciate your generous observation.
Can I take some time to come but end up looking at your beautiful photos and read the information attached.
I do not think you need to create a profile on google for comment on Just A Woman because you have a blog that is also on google. kisses
Mary Brown
I'm so glad you came back! When I first tried to comment I must have gone to your Google Plus profile, instead of your Just A Woman blog.
After your second visit, I tried again, and had no trouble at all in getting there, and have become your latest follower.
I will visit again to comment very soon, as weekend is really family time. See you soon :=)
