Terri’s Sunday Stills challenge is Nature’s Golden Yellows. The Lens-Artists challenge from Ann-Christine is What’s in a Garden? Both these challenge have flowers and nature in common so combining them into one post made perfect sense to me.
I’ve discovered many golden yellow flowers and butterflies during walks in nature and when visiting gardens. The following images are a few of my favorites.



I’ll finish with a gallery of yellow flowers









Many thanks to Ann-Christine for her Lens-Artists Challenge #311 What’s In a Garden?

I am always so amazed that a butterfly can fly on such delicate and fragile looking wings. They are so beautiful.

Fabulous yellows and garden-scapes, Beth! Your photography is quite stunning! Do you use a camera or a fancy cell phone? Love the butterflies–I can see their legs! And glad you could double-dip for two challenges–I love when that works our 🙂

Terri, I’m so glad you liked the images. I like it when your challenges works well with the Lens-Artists challenge. I used a DSLR camera for a lot of these images and my IPhone for a few. I think the butterflies were with my Sony DSLR.

Yellow is my favorite color, too. Sometimes the swallowtails don’t want to cooperate when I try to take a photo. This one stayed still long enough for a few captures. I love seeing them.

Pam, thank you! Yes, butterflies can be a challenge. I love it when one is too busy drinking nectar to notice there is a camera aimed at it.
