Vedui’, everyone. (Aren’t elves great?)
Today my two brothers and I went up to our grandparent’s house to work on our path. I was taking a big stick back to a brush pile and when I came back a saw a bumblebee buzzing around some bugleweed. I grabbed my camera and took a few photos. Then I saw a Black Swallowtail and… well, just look at the photos. 🙂
Tiger Swallowtails:
There! I chose fifteen of my favorite. 😀 Well, sixteen. Here’s the sixteenth before I edited it:
and after:
Which do you like better, the edited or the un-edited?
I also edited one of the swallowtail butterfly photos I showed you. Before:
And after:
Which of those do you like better? 😀
That 20 minutes was one of the best 20 minutes of photography ever… 😛
Whenever I type my name really fast I almost always miss-spell it. Isn’t that sad? XD 😛
These pictures are really good! My favorites of the ones of the butterfly. Oh, and I really like the edited photos. 🙂

Yeah!! 🙂 I want to enter some in the fair… but basically all of them are CLOSE-UPS. There should be a plants or flowers category. 😦 😛
