ABC Wednesday “Z”, Project Black VI
22
Categories: ABC Wednesday •July 16, 2008
Today’s “Z” shows a cluster of Zebra Longwings - answering the question, where Butterflies go to sleep. 
Go to Mrs. Nesbitt’s Place to see some more “Z” concoctions!
For Project Black I opted for an American White Pelican 
- reflecting the light and turning the background into pure Black.
- American White Pelican

Beautiful pictures. The Zebra Longwing butterflies are very fascinating. I have never seen them before.

Beautiful picturse, both. But I’m wondering how you have time to find all these great creatures to photograph and still have time to show us. Amazing to me.

Two photos today?! I was so excited to see two photos, I had to scroll up and down and up and down and I can’t pick a favorite. I love them both!

It looks like you found the jackpot of sleeping zzzzzzzz’s! C’est beau! As your pictures always are. Also great tri coloured heron in the previous post; I’ve never seen one of those. I have photographed White Pelicans in our province twice but both times were rare sightings.

What a great shot of the butterflies! I’ve never seen them hang in a group like that. The pelican photo is very beautiful with that black background. It really makes the bird stand out. I’m always amazed at your photos!

Come by to drop my 2 cents and a comment - cool shots. Seeing your birds shot makes me want to go to the aviary again, lol.

Cool shot of the sleeping butterflies. The white bird against the black background - gee - wow - looks like a portrait taken in a studio!! What is the bird doing? I can’t figure it out…but I love the image!

Great contrast! Your Pelicans look very different! Is that a fish stashed under it’s wing?

No fish - that’s some extension on his bill…

Superb shots… both. Never thought too much about where butterflies sleep… they are smart… pretending to be leaves!
