Theme: Reflection| Become a Photo Hunter
Both of these have appeared on my blog before but not for a Photo Hunt, I don’t think.
This was taken several years ago at Callaway Gardens Butterfly Center in Georgia. This is a case with several cocoons (or chrysalises? I always get them mixed up). I like this picture not only because they are beautiful (I never knew they could be shiny) but also because I think my husband’s reflection in the glass of the case is neat.
I had noticed a lovely sunset and went out to try to get a picture of it, then on my way out to the front yard I noticed this reflection on the car that I thought was kind of neat. But by the time I got my camera, went outside, and then took this picture, the sun had gone down too much. I tried taking a couple more pictures, but I was directly facing the neighbors across the street who were out in their front yard — whom I don’t know — and felt awkward that they might be thinking I was taking pictures of them or their house, so I gave up.
The Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt is hosted by TN Chick: you can find more entries there.
Stray Thoughts 
Oh yes! That golden chrysalis is that poisonous Asian butterfly… it’s chrysalis is much prettier than it is! That is a wonderful reflection! The car is too. Ya know, the wonderful thing about living way out in the country is that the neighbors NEVER think you’re aiming at THEM! LOL!
Those are both lovely and interesting photos, Barbara. I had no idea that a chrysalis could be gold, either. And that sunset – wow! Hope your weekend is delightful.
I love the chrysalis shot. The reflection is wonderful. Stop in for a visit if you can.
Loved your reflections… the sunset was my favorite… Thanks for coming to see mine!
Interesting shots.
I like both of them but the sunset is my favorite. So beautiful.
Even though you gave up, you still got a great shot! Isn’t it fun to come upon something like that? It’s kind of like a really neat gift.
Thanks for stopping by this morning!
Good ones.
Wow the colour of those chrysales (correct?) are amazing. Happy weekend
Perfectly captured for the theme. Love that 1st shot.
Very cool shots! I honeymooned at Callaway Gardens nearly 7 years ago. LOVED it. We’ve been back a few times.
It’s amazing, isn’t it, how quickly the sun sometimes sets. Noticed that a few weeks back when I was privy to a wonderful sunset scene. Funny thing though is that I kept on clicking after the sun had set and when I looked, found that the best pictures were those taken shortly after the sun had set rather than when it was setting like one might have thought…
That golden chrysalis looks awesome but if its poisonous, according to Melli. Sunsets look really good in photos and yours is one of these 🙂
I remember both photos, Barbara! 🙂
Those are beautiful shots. I’ve always been fascinated with butterflies. I have yet to witness a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis. I like the lovely reflection of the sun on the car.
Excellent choices for the theme, love both reflections 🙂
