My heart dropped when it flew away :(

15 yrs ago in the UK i'd see butterflies in my back garden all the time. Not anymore. So sad. They are wonderful to watch.

LOVE IT...

Thank you !

:-)

Great work, she that is a Swallowtail on a Lantana, they grow in Florida and atracts butterflies like a magnet.

[diezynueve69]

Was that the same butterfly throughout? You must have fitted your camera with petals, lol,...how did you not scare that looker away?

[diezynueve69]

Oh, overlooked the title..."1 Butter..." You must have anticipated doubts like mine.

[NewYorkGardener]

The same butterfly in the entire video.

The name of the video is a tribute to my youtube friend " 1butterflykiss "

you know i bet you would love to go to my dads old place in mexico! there was an end less amount of Monarchs all over the trees and flowers!

[leixinyi77]

This is a movie my mom will love. Lovely! Thanks for sharing it with us...

[LizLamont45]

Just love butterflies especially the ones that look like pansies. ~ LOL ~ I guess, it's time for me to visit "Magic Wings" again... BTW, those birds in the background are such great singers. They make your video extra special. :)

[LizLamont45]

The last time I went to "Magic Wings," a very polite man by the name of Phil came up to me to inform me that his mother, Eileen Heckart, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in "Butterflies Are Free." He said that his mother and Marilyn Monroe were very good friends, and he even has a picture of Marilyn holding him when he was a child. His mother had just died, and he was missing her so much...

[LizLamont45]

I certainly hope that he had found the comfort he was seeking in just looking at the butterflies, and cherishing the memories of his beloved MOM.

Wow, i never saw a butterfly as beautiful as this one on Staten Island and at my favorite place too, lol thank you!

[NewYorkGardener]

There have been so many lately. I'm trying to get some of the Monarchs, but they fly off as I approach.

[Tahllulah]

This is so lovely!

[Zoltrix67]

Beautiful Video. Butterflies not easy to video are they. You did Awesome. 5 Stars from me, keep the videos coming.

[sainter1]

Fabulous footage Arthur!! The colour is so rich too. What type of camera did you use?

Thx for sharing.

I have an HD video camera. The flowers are already that bright and colorful. I have been taking pictures and video at Snug Harbor, sooner or later I'll post the video of their huge collection.

[1butterflykiss]

Wow...what beautiful photography. Thank you so so so much for sharing this with me. I LOVE BUTTERFLIES!

This has to be on my favorites.

Thank you so much!

I recorded this yesterday, a little while after watching your video. I thought it a nice way to respond to your video.

[1butterflykiss]

I thank you for this. Sometimes, for my own crazy reasons, I cry when I see butterflies. Its been my own representation of myself for too long.

*kisses*

Very much enjoyed.

Hugs~Nancy

Beautiful.. absolutely marvellous! We were hoping to find a 'Butterfly House' in Yarmouth, but apparentely it closed years ago, even though the sign was still up.. so we saw no butterflies.. :(

[HappyHag]

This is great - the last shot is pure magic - that butterfly flew into your shot like it wanted to be videoed!

[ajdpadbury]

A truely amazing capture, Arthur!

[pinklantana]

very lovely vid...smart butterfly choosing the lantana first *s*

[NewYorkGardener]

OH I'm glad you watched ! I meant to send you a message about the lantana.

[MomoDelicious]

Beautiful, good job getting the footage without the butterfly taking off.

[NewYorkGardener]

Yeah, it must have been hungry. They always take off when I approach.

[Petticlew]

Beautiful, Arthur--loved it.

[pwarkentin2pc]

Beautifully done.

[MouzerMalti]

wooow, again another great job!!!

[CagedSongBird]

That was so beautiful. Everytime I try to get shots of butterflies or birds in my flower garden it's just too funny. I see them, get all excite, get the video camera, sneak quietly outside, and like magic they're gone. ***sigh*** Someday I'll get it right! ***smile*** What a beautiful video!

Have a wonderful day filled with smiles & sunshine!

(((Hugs))) to you...

[NewYorkGardener]

That's my experience too. Luckily the botanical garden has so many butterfly friendly flowers.

[IXGertXI]

Oh, she's loving that lantana! lovely. Swallowtail? maybe?

[NewYorkGardener]

Thanks for that, I didn't look it up yet. Swallowtail sounds right.

[planetfrog]

Nice shooting NYG, good format with the screen width too, does make it more filmic!. :)

[NewYorkGardener]

Thank You !
