I have always had trouble getting good photos of live things that fly. I love photos other people have taken of birds and butterflies and bugs in flight. The Hawaiian bride and groom did a butterfly release at the end of the ceremony. The butterflies had to be kept cold and then “woken up” at the right time for them to fly. These were a little behind the time, so I was able to get some good shots of a couple of them on the bouquet.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO THAT FEATURES THINGS WITH WINGS.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

That’s a delightful prompt and I could’ve taken it a half-dozen ways, but this dude won, wings down. … 😉
Na’ama
What a wonderful topic. I loved your butterflies.
Thanks!
Who doesn’t have this problem? But my new camera has a special feature making 8 copies of at almost the same time.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. 🙂
Nice Butterflies 🙂 Not flying shots, but here are a couple of birds for you https://2e0mca.wordpress.com/2018/11/30/a-photo-a-week-challenge-things-with-wings/
Gorgeous photo!

Nancy, your photo is so dainty and soft. Simply gorgeous.
Here is my entry for this week.
Thanks, Cee!
A beautiful photograph and a lovely topic Nancy, our contribution for this week is here: https://tranature.com/2018/11/30/tanka-into-the-world/
what a good idea to have these butterflies at the wedding – and how nice that two of them remained so you could get a nice clear shot – and with the flowers – they sure have a fun look.
beautiful photo, Nancy
Thanks! I think the bride was a little frustrated that they didn’t have a big effect when they opened the box, but it sure helped for the photos. 😉
yes, I imagine she wanted to fluttering wow –
🙂
and side note – I have tried to get pictures of butterflies and it really is not easy – so how fortuitous to have two resting like that
Love your butterflies. We don’t get many of them these days. We used to have so many. I wonder why not.
We don’t have as many here in Utah, either. I don’t know why. We are also losing our honeybees, which is a really concern.
Love your shot. The story reminded me of an episode of “Two and a half men” where the butterflies all had died and the release didn’t work so well …
Oh no! So glad that didn’t happen this time. LOL
What a gorgeous photo, Nancy. The bride must have been thrilled to have such beautiful creatures share her day. I like most things that fly, provided they don’t bite me. 🙂 I’ve sent my pingback through. Kind regards. Tracy.
Thanks, Tracy!
A brief visitor flew in. 🙂
That’s a beautiful picture, Nancy! I’m thankful for the obliging critters that stay still long enough for us to click pictures. 🙂
🙂 Me too!
Lovely! Catching up on a winged chariot – https://myheart2heart.blog/2018/12/02/time-flies-on-a-winged-chariot-clock/
Your butterfly shot is perfect! I had not heard of them being used in a wedding before. Sometimes challenging to get “nature” to cooperate!
My first contact with them was a few months ago.
I assume – on their way south….
Here is my take on this challenge. https://medjlacambra.wordpress.com/2018/12/03/things-with-wings/
Looking forward to the next ones!
