A Dragonfly and Two Butterflies

.

Not birds, but they still have wings! 😏  Here’s three photos for those of you who love dragonflies and butterflies.

Generally, you would find a Halloween Pennant in wet habitats such as ponds, marshes and lakes, perched on vegetation.  Well, this is certainly a different take….

Of these next two butterflies, the common Gulf Fritillary was a favorite to follow (and distract me) while searching for birds.

It certainly was a challenge when I came across this next new-to-me little butterfly, a Cassius Blue.  Tiny, with a wingspan of only 1/2 – 1 inch (15-25 mm), I photographed it for several minutes before it fluttered on and out of my reach.  I got one lucky shot!  😃
