The theme for the photohunt this week is dirty.The photographs which I selected are about a beautiful dance between a couple of butterflies. The dirty part is how I accidentally kept interrupting them. They would get right up to the moment of coupling and then be startled by me trying to take a picture. Here's an example of a tender moment I interrupted.
They didn't give up but were rudely interrupted by me more than once. I was trying my best to be quiet but sadly I wasn't always successful. It made me feel dirty and insensitive. Here they are in the throes of courtship and passion and then that nasty old human kept stumbling around and interrupting them.
There were even some extremely shy moments where the pair would separate and seek hiding places hoping that I'd go away and leave them to get down to it.
However, they weren't easily distracted from their mission. Survival of the species is a powerful motivator. This isn't a casual dalliance but an important part of their life.
Finally I grew a conscience and when the shy lady came out of her cover one last time, I let them get to it and didn't try to take another picture. I do after all have a heart. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of dirty pictures the rest of the photo hunters came up with for this week's photo hunt. The links at the bottom of this post will take you to the other photohunters. Saturday is the photo hunt day but I'm posting early and what with time differences it's Saturday somewhere. To find out how to join the hunt and play with us you can go here.
I am adding my fortune to this post at the end. A blogger had linked a place where you can get your fortune and I got mine on Thursday. Here it is. Although my fortune is tame, I think some are dirty to the point of being risque so you might not want to get your fortune there.

Very good take on "dirty" this week. Great photos too for interrupting nature. Your fortune was too funny! Have a good weekend.

I appreciate the photohunter comments and am enjoying visiting the dirty sites. And Kim, I can hear you talking like like Elmer Fudd. Too funny. Great quote too.
Those are such gorgeous photos!
But poor butterflies!
You should've told them to get a room. But wow those are some beautiful dirty pictures! I can see how you were compelled to be a voyeur. Great take on this week's theme, thanks for the chuckle. Happy hunting!
Great photos - Beautiful dirty is right.

This si the first post I've seen with THAT kind of dirty! heehee! They are so lovely there together, though, I understand why you took so many shots.
These photos are great..love the color. Ha-ha, what a dirty thoughts!
I love butterflies! I like the creative way you used these beautiful photos for this week's theme. I guess the couple of butterflies weren't so glad to be the focus of attention at that time. :)
brilliant shots, but I agree, I'd feel cruel interrupting them as well!
Ok, yeah, that was not what I was expecting! I think your blog needs to be labeled PG-13! hee hee
Hmmm...now there is a different look at the theme! Beautiful photos. Wishing the two of them many...eh...caterpillars???
What an awesome series of photos. I often have to distract or explain to the kids at moments like these--especially with bugs. They LOVE bugs.

Hi Carver, lovely photos as usual. I think these are especially beautiful. Good thinking.
Really beautiful shots!!
I love the way you posted your "Dirty" story. :) And the pictures are lovely too!
I sincerely hope nobody does this with you, lol !
Lol... beautiful shots.
Those are beautiful photos! I was wondering how you were going to weave "dirty" into them, and you did a great job.
What a fun and funny post! Original too -- well done! :)
Fun shots. Cute fortune!
Thanks so much to all the photohunters. I am having fun seeing everyone's take on dirty and I appreciate your comments.
What lovely photos, as usual.
Reminds me of a post I did at the end of July about a news report of policemen, in Germany, investigating suspicious noises, flooding a garden with light and finding 2 hedgehogs doing what comes naturally. They promptly turned off the lights and left! Glad you weren't so squeamish, though, 'cos they're superb pictures.
By the way I've now posted the pictures of my Rose of Sharon plants, if you'd care to drop by.
I love the direction you took this week's theme. Too funny. Great shots too by the way.
Kim @ TheBitterBall

The dirt on the birds and the bees (well in this case the butterflies)..

These photographs are beautiful as are the butterflies even if they are getting down and dirty!!!

best "dirty" pictures. i always try to take pics of butterflies, but i have a fear of them, so i can't get close enough to get a good one.
Great sequence of photos for the theme, I enjoyed them very much :)
You are mean, mean, mean. Just like our kids, every so often they would knock on the door late at night and we had to pretend we were sleeping already, wink, wink.
Very nice! I love the pictures. Thanks for stopping by my place!
Wow, such lovely photos. Great take on the theme. :)

Thanks again to all the photohunters for stopping by. I tried to visit everyone. If I didn't it's because some links weren't working. I am enjoying the photohunt a bunch and interesting to see all the different takes on the same theme.

97 comments, wow, mom's popular! I'm glad I don't have that many... I'd never get any work done!
Thanks again to the photohunters for visiting.
Hi Judith,
You should play when you have time. You can spend as much or as little time as you want. It's not that I'm popular it's that I got addicted. I want to see what everyone does with the themes so I visit EVERYONE that plays and leave a comment. I won't always have time to do that but I'd like to because it's fun. Love, Mom
Whoa, 100th comment. Anyway, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Glad to have found you, you have absolutely gorgeous photos on your blog, and I love your take on this theme.
