Description

My grandchildren were playing out back on a hot summer August day. I noticed there was a lovely little Orange Sulphur Butterfly enjoying my Zinnia flowers, so I quietly grabbed my camera to snap a few shots. When they noticed I was not giving them undivided attention, they came running over and captured me to put me in 'jail.' They started discussing with each other what I should be allowed to do and what my punishment would be for this horrible crime of doing my own thing!

They decided the proper punishment for me would be this:

I can only stand there and watch the butterflies
I can NOT take any pictures (when I started to cry, they relented a bit)
new rule: I can take ONE picture a day!

Boy! they really know how to punish someone!!

This is an Orange Sulphur Butterfly on an orange Zinnia flower. Taken in Ohio August 2018.

Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.

I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
