Back to the small things The Gulf Fritillaries have been very busy laying eggs on the passion flower tendrils.
Amazing that they seem to prefer the tendrils over the leaves.
I went out looking to see if I could find some of the eggs. They are so very small, but found a few.
While I was looking one of the butterflies actually landed on my arm and laid an egg on it
I know I have posted the shots of the butterfly on the tendril, but posting again just for the reference.
This morning it rained. So I thought drops of rain on the tendrils , reflections, eggs , should make some nice shots.
So pull out the tripod , macro lens, camera and flash. Well I guess I did not have the camera mounted correctly on the tripod, as the whole thing feel off the tripod !!!! I always double check, but still fell off Fell 3 to 4 feet to the grass and now camera not working , hot shoe broken and who knows what damaged maybe to the lens. Needless to say , not a good day. Well not so bad , had a good encounter with the butterfly .
As always you nits , crits and comments are greatly appreciated.
