Another butterfly photo shoot interrupted....when I glanced over and saw this. The kits were out of the den! Five of them!
I first spotted the little ones about a week ago, but kept a distance. Today I used a telephoto lens and was able to get some so-so shots. The Mama is used to me, so she didn't seem to mind.
Prepare for cuteness:
It was so much fun to watch the babies tussle and tumble while playing and exploring. I'm sure they'll get even bolder with age. Expect more photos - but meanwhile, back to butterflies!
