Butterfly visitor 2012

I had to share this beauty... We had just come home from playing Sunday.. we were walking up to the house from the back driveway when this little beauty fluttered around and caught my eye... I was able to get in the house and grab my camera for a couple of pictures. =)

I have only seen one little dragonfly this year so far but this pretty makes up for it. =)

Dragonfly vistor

We've had some very pretty visitors in the yard lately... This pretty one sitting on a wire was in the backyard on George's birthday haning out soaking up some rays and spying on the humans. lol

This brown beauty was in the yard a couple weeks ago when I was out doing some gardening...pulling dandelions...I felt guilty when I saw him a couple hours later going back and forth eating from the few dandelions I had left....I guess it was a good thing I was too tired to pull them all!!

Dragonfly on our liliac bush

This was soo cool!!!

I was outside watering the plants this afternoon and while I was watering the liliac bush this beautiful little one landed on the liliac and basked in the sun for a couple of hours, so I was able to get some wonderful pictures!!!!

Dragonflies are one of my favorites and I don't get to see them this up close very often.

This one was very pretty and very tiny not one of the big guys that's for sure...but absolutely gorgeous!!!
