Oh WOW Quilly, it must be terribly hard to live in such a beautiful place. Love these photos.
You know I love the butterfly.
Gorgeous photos. Do you have a macro setting on your camera? I’m just imagining how much more awesome butterfly photos would be in extreme closeup.
Nothing wrong with those photos.
Quilly… I want to go to Diamond Head and let the butterflies chase ME!
Wow! How pretty. At last something to brighten my day, thank you!
I’m thinking the bottom one could be a postcard (and that is a compliment!) Do they still make postcards?

Wonderful picture to start the day off
Beautiful beyond words!!!
oh, you poor thing! too busy to blog, eh?
in this case, keep being busy – these are splendid!
Alice — I perservere. Somebody has to. π
Nessa — I wish I coud have gotten closer for you.
Mumma — no Macro setting, I’d have to buy a LENS. And what makes you think the butterfly would let me get that close?!
Doug — thank you.
Melli — don’t let them chase you far. The park is about 20 feet wide and then it’s over the cliff ….
Jill — you’re welcome.
Bazza — yep. Post cards still exist. Thank you.
Thom — You’re welcome.
Mar — Why thank you, but how did you like my photo?
Polona — I will suffer on, just for you.
What a terrible day…poor you π
Amber — I am willing to suffer so someone else doesn’t have to. π
That last photo is very gorgeous!
I love handbells.
I feel so sad when I look at your blog and I see a butterfly and then I look outside and I see snow.
Wow, the butterfly is very cool but the coleus is stunning!
Carletta — I sat right down at the edge of the flowerbed to take it.
Dr. John — I have a solution. Quit looking out the window!
Shelly — isn’t it though? It is so huge I asked OC to identify it. I’ve had Coleus as house plants, but I never seen one this big!
oh I miss butterflies so much! I can’t wait to see them!!
Look, Andrew — a butterfly! π
Quilly..poor Dr. John. LOL
Thom — was I wrong?
Oh…my…goodness… that photo of the view from Diamond Head Rd. is divine!!
What a paradise you live in!!!
I mailed your cross necklace out yesterday. Let me know when you receive it.

Gorgeous!!!!
