Bookmarks - Navasota Monarch (Animal Series - Butterflies)

Birds, then bees, then butterflies.  This also is logical.  Even though butterflies are just insects, they are so pretty and universally loved that they get their own place in the series.  Other insects and creepy-crawlies are next.

The shots above and below are the first decent butterfly pics captured with the Big Cahoona.  On a Girl Scout canoe trip along the Navasota River this guy appeared out of nowhere and landed on a thistle right next to me.  Naturally I went nuts, snapping away and keeping the best including these two.

Navasota series in its entirety was posted back in April of 2011.
