    What a cornucopia of butterflies. There are so many and so lovely each one is. I am glad your Montana Lepidopetera have survived well, our poor UK ones have had a dreadful year.

    All the best to you. Cxxx

    What amazing butterflies and how well you have captured them! I have a soft spot for the little blue and the yellow... but the first one in a fur coat is amazing! The third one looks like a piece of old tree bark - what a fantastic camouflage! This is a lovely series! Sandra

    These are wonderful. Montana has some very unique butterflies . . . some seem to be wearing fur coats! My favorite is the one which looks exactly like tree bark . . . that's some great camouflage.
    Your photography is flawless.

    A great series of wonderful butterflies! Most of them unknown to me, I guess they don't live in Norway.

    We are each explorers in our own unique state of discovery where one takes wing and is swept away by the Love that is this Moment.

    Great photos Tammie. I especially enjoy the camoed butterfly on the sapsucker tap.

    Butterflies of Montana ...
    Pure poetry ...
    Friend, how much beauty there is in your world ...
    I see blue wings, inspiration, brown wings, bathed in golden sun ...
    Green wings ... hope ...
    Vagaries of nature that produce a great peace to the beholder.
    Thank you for this photographic work ... lay the soul and I'm happy ... much.

    TL - the butterflies are breathtaking; and the fact that you captured them in photos is just amazing - pure genius. The contrast of the blue butterflies against the mud - amazing. B

    Fabulous! Our wet weather has resulted in such few butterflies this year - it's very worrying - but lovely to see these Tammie.x

    Oh, Tammie, what beauty! Thank you! You are blessed to live among such a variety of flora and fauna!
    The butterflies are magnificent! The light blue and yellow ones are so tender, but the third one is stunning!
    I'm just wondering how does this environment influence you? Do you think you have changed for the best? I suppose that you learn a lot of new things not only about nature, but about you as well...:))

    Well, it took me a couple of visits before I finally decided to take a look at your butterflies. As pretty as they are in real life (about 2 meters or so away from me!), I knew looking at your images will take guts. I must say I found the blue one rather stunning...but the next one after that got my skin crawling! LOL! At least I got to the comment part, right? :))

    Whitefish is the most beautiful town I've ever seen in my life.
    I was this summer in July at the railway museum and
    in the main street, I can not forget it.
