I sometimes get out in the garden and photograph the creatures I find. Here are few of the visitors I photographed in February this year: Butterflies went nuts over one of the bushes flowering in our back yard but this was the only one that would settle long enough for me to catch.

I looked out the window above my desk and saw this little one settling down for the night. I have no idea what kind of butterfly it is, but it was pretty and brightened my day. See what I mean? Beautiful!

Still taking a break from the spiders. Take a look at this little hover fly. I just couldn't resist trying to get a few shots of it. I started out just being able to catch it when it was feeding on the flowers. And then I started trying to catch it in flight... It took a few tries but then I found these two  homing in on the flowers. It was worth it.
