@knotasidechannel Hahah -- It won't happen for the next video, because I'll have to listen to some of their music first. You may have to be patient -- remember how long it took me to record a goose pooping...
@5jeanbittersweet You're welcome! I'd like to get more butterfly footage, but they're kind of uncooperative, at least compared to wildflowers. Maybe I could record them in someone's garden...
@seaottersoup Is #1 Lunaria annua? It looks like a mustard, and that one naturalizes well. The stems on yours are rather hairy, though. #3 looks like another mustard, maybe Alliaria petiolata/officinalis?
@maniacalmike Thanks! I think you're right on both counts, so I'll update the information in the description. I bought a couple of weed and wildflower guides yesterday, and those, along with web searches, have convinced me. The stems on the first one do seem too hairy, but the plant wasn't that tall yet, so the hairs may space out as it grows. That's my theory anyway...
Ah I liked this one Very much. Absolutely beautiful flowers, music & the butterfly was a delightful ending. Very very soothing & put a smile on me face ;~) x
hey, have you noticed that the yellow trout lilies have turned white!!! or is that a whole other subspecies you have discovered!!! i liked seeing all the little bugs scurrying by... and then, wait for it..... the big finale.... a flutterby!
@pattiwak5555 They're called white trout lilies (erythronium albidum), and supposedly they're not as common as regular trout lilies. I didn't come across any when I shot the previous video, but they were all over the place this time.
The bugs seemed to really want to be in the video, so I let them have their way. ;)
@HypnosReveur Hahah -- When I was trying to record the butterfly, the sun was so bright that I couldn't see anything but glare on its display. So, I just aimed and hoped. If I'd aimed a few inches higher, I would have had about 40 seconds of really good footage. But I didn't...

@knotasidechannel Thanks! But how quickly you forget the pooping goose.
Maybe one day a toad will make an appearance in one of my videos...

Another pretty video with great music! What are those little white flowers near the end?

@AnnaHeartsTheWorld Those are wood anemones. I just put a list of the ones I can identify in the video description.

@Annie7821 Thanks! I wish butterflies were as easy to record as plants. But they seem to want to move around a lot. :)

yeah.. this was the right call to make! =)
10 points for training the butterfly to obey cues!
bonus 10 because he didn't overact it
