This little gray butterfly is a delight to enjoy in gardens all across the United States. It is one of the most widely dispersed butterflies in North America. It has bright red eye spots near the tips of its wings next to the small tails that are used to deter possible predators. Gray Hairstreaks have a large variety of host and nectar plants that are commonly found in disturbed environments where humans are active.

Thank you for visiting our site. We have been married 58 years and are long time partners in our art as well as life. Most of the beautiful floral and butterfly images are from Carol's camera while most of the rest are from David's. The making of a photographic image requires more than the click of a shutter.In the days of film photography we spent many hours in the chemical darkroom to make the negative more than just a "picture". The current digital darkroom allows far more control and artistic development for the original digital file to come to life as art.You will find in our galleries realistic presentations, simulated paintings and outright digital abstracts. We thank you very much for taking the time to look at our images.
