Photo taken at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Titusville FL. This refuge is the gateway to OLD FLORIDA where time remains "virtually unchanged". Man's interference is minimal! Established in 1963, it encompasses 140,000 acres and is habitat to 1500 species of plants and animals. If you're in my area I would love to show you some of Florida's natural beauty.

That is beautiful!!!! WOW Im the first one to comment on this foto Friday.

Have a beautiful day,

Kim White

Wow Gail, that's an amazing shot! I'm not as worried about how close you got to this creature as I am when I see some of your other photos. : )

Well now Miss Gail, that's a wonderful shot of a butterfly at the dinner table. I don't recall ever seeing one that had albino coloring, or lack of coloring would be more correct, I guess.

Great entry to Mike's new group.

Rich

GREAT Picture and I love the Title...It's perfect for all this this social networking we are supposed to be ding these days! Have a great weekend!

You are such a social butterfly Gail. Seriously, I see you hanging around everywhere.

HI Gail, The photo is amazing and I like the bright color and detail. Have a great weekend.

Spectacular photography Gail. I think this is among your best ever!

But I expected nothing less from Titusville's very own social butterfly!

Very nice photo capture. What kind of butterfly is this? Thanks for sharing

That butterfly is so clear! Great photo! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Gail-A beautiful and social butterfly pic from one of AR's and Titusville's most beautiful and social butterflies. Awesome pic <WARM SMILE>

Great photo...quite unusual to catch that delicate wing.

WOW Gail, this one is beautiful. I nearly expect him to just fly off the page. Great photo.

Darn it Ryan stole my line, I guess that is what I get for being late to the party. Nice pic ma'am.

Hi Kim....I love to see your smiling face, you always seem so happy. I'm glad you like my butterfly and wish you a fab weekend :-)

LOL @Chris...that's funny, I'm not so much of a daredevil; just trusting the environment to play nice. I'll place my bet on animal preditability over human predictability...I'm just saying ;-)

Hi Rich...just for you I looked this up and here's a couple of links to this particular species which is quite common in Florida. ENJOY

Hi Gail, She is quite beautiful in her summer white wings! Very nice photo, colors and bokeh. Always amazing the things I get to see on your post, Gail! Good job!

Hey Russell...social this, social that....social butterfly and why not? I hope your weekend includes fun-time too. I'm glad you like this pic :-)

Hey Ryan....you stalking me....LOL, and I feel like such a quiet person by comparison. Or maybe I should be working harder....nah!!!

Hi Gary....good wishes back atcha, thanks so much for stopping and commenting. You know I'm always appreciative :-)

Gail, noting wrong with that social butterfly. Looks better than mine...

Hi Craig....are you wearing your cufflinks as you admire my beautiful butterfly. She is quite charming and expects no less from her admirers. Now where was I going with that....LOL...have a wonderful W-E

Hi Caron....thanks so much! As close as I can figure she's either a Great White Butterfly or a Southern Great White. I lean towards Great White due to lack of brown wing-tips. Good question :-)

Hi Jim...the shot was a little difficult with my 100-400 zoom. But all in all it turned out pretty good. THANKS :-)

Hi SweetPea....if you guys keep this up, I'll going to start flirting flitting around just like one...of them....butterflies. Wishing you a wonderful end of week.

Thanks Li....she found just enough pollen to keep her still long enough to compose the shot, and I'm glad she did.

Hi Tammy....I love it when you express your poetic side, makes us all feel so good.

Don...darn that Ryan anyway, first he stalks me then he steals your lines. What shall we do with him anyway. Hmmmm....suggestions anyone ;-)

Hi there RedFeatherHead....what a photographic vocabulary you have....I'm impressed. Is Debou rubbing off on both of us or did you know all this stuff before? Either way, it's all gooood. Hope you weekend is fantabulous :-)

Oh My Gosh Michael....no way better....just different, and it's all so good. After all, is not variety the spice of life? Let's spice it up while we can! Wishing you much success with your new group, I don't know where you'll find the time, but if you're game, I'm in there too :-)

Gail,

Great picture and very large. Looks like the yellow sulfur which I can never get to land long enough to shoot. :)

Steve

Wow, Gail! Now, that is exquisite--simply breathtaking. You are one amazing photographer, Gail and truly need to share your photos with publications--seriously.

Have a wonderful weekend...

Gail - That's one of your best shots! I tried to photograph a butterfly in the yard today but it wouldn't stop twittering. Butterflies and technology - go figure :-)

Gail, that is wonderful! What a great shot for this brand new group. I saw the big mouth fish and didn't think I had anything to rival that, but this.... I will wait this one out till I find something worthy of this high bar that has been set!

Gail - This is one of your best - I can see a new career on the horizon for you. Have a great weekend!

Gail, I did not know there was a Friday's fotos but this is a great picture for what must be a fairly new group.

Thanks for sharing about this new group with me! I love it, and I love you butterfly! Terrific shot my friend! (Nice bokeh, too!)

Debi

Gail See... it was Debi that taught me that fancy foto friday word :-) !!!

Gail - that is beautiful. I was hunting (lol) for shots today, the darn birds, bugs and butterflies are too fast for me :) But I did manage to get some shots of prairie dogs LOL ~Rita

Hi Gail, You must have a lot of patience waiting for that perfect shot that you always seem to get! Beautiful!

JUN

Gail, that is an amazing photo, I love it!

Gail - That is the most feminine looking butterfly I have ever seen! Beautiful Shot.

Hi Gail:

Great photo!

Very delicate...

Have a great weekend.

that is amazing, you got that shot off without the butterfly hitting the road.. very cool

Gail, this is a perfectly clear photo, you are so talented and amazing that you can get a shot like this without disturbing the little fellow!

Great shot Gail! We have scooted arount Titusville, when we have been to your sunny South, remember seeing the signs on the highway. Now we know to STOP and check it out! Thanks for the introduction to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge!

Hi Steve....thanks so much. When I looked it up the closest I could come to a match is Great White or Southern Great White. Close enough for me, as I don't need any new projects. Have a great weekend.

Debe...don't stop it, still so much to learn, but improving all the time. It's a wonderful avocation :-)

LOL @John...Butterflies and technology! Wouldn't want to have to give up one for the other, right!

Hi Andrea....You certainly have a way about making a girl feel pretty good on a Saturday morning, thanks so much :-) Have a fun weekend.

LOL @Sharon....unfortunately it would a non-paying career, I'm OK with avocation though. You have a great weekend as well.

Hi Marchel...yes the group is brand new. Michael just started it, this is the first edition. Glad you stopped by....now where's you entry!

Hi Debi...my pleasure, glad to see you posted. Nice that Michael says go for the points ;-)

Hey Mary...That oldDebou can teach us neophites a thing or two about a thing or two...hahahaha

So Rita...where are they, the prairie dogs. They make cute pictures, c'mon ;-) Stop chasing butterflies and get into them dogs.

Hi Shirley....yes, I suppose I am patient when I'm out shooting. Thing is I have to hold my breath so muchsince a tripod is often impractical. I think I'm also improving lung function...LOL

Hi Tony and Darcy....YAY, I'm so glad. It wouldn't be much fun sharing pictures otherwise. Thanks so much :-)

WOW Mike...interesting way of looking at it. Quite poetic, I like that - thanks :-)

Hi Toula...thank you :-) Wishing you a great weekend too.

Hi Konnie...what I'm learning about butterflies and dragonflies is that if you stay really still, they'll settle down too. It's a small edge and I'll take it :-)

Hey Caren....It's true what I said to Konnie so it might get easier to snap them next time. Glad you like her!

Al and Peggy....next time you're scooting around Titusville, I'll go scoot with you too - k. You're picture was very funny, let's me know the kind of humor I'd be in for for....LOL

Gail this is great wow ! thank you for sharing it here on a/r with rest where we can enjoy it .

Have a great wonderful successful weekend.

JUN

Gail.thanks for sharing this fantastic photo. I have never seen this species of the White butterfly. I guess I need to get to Florida in May and June to see this in person. Thanks for your research.
