I visited this Butterfly Garden last year, after I read about it on Facebook.
It was created last year and
I was happy to return this year and see that it has been maintained beautifully.
On the Barnegat Bay in Seaside New Jersey, it has a pretty view located
away from the boardwalk, beach and shore attractions...
I like that.
It is a peaceful, quiet spot,
and a lot of the flowers in the garden were still in bloom.
The Black Swallowtails were fluttering about but I was only able to capture one image worth sharing.
And this little guy who was happy to pose for me.
There weren't too many butterflies,
a few Black Swallowtails and one Monarch that was having no part of posing for pictures.

Hello, Debbie! The view of the bay is pretty. I love the butterfly garden. Great captures of the Swallowtail and the skipper. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your Labor Day weekend!
Elegant butterflies.
The skipper can fly in "lightning" speed. I have found them at my place.
What a lovely place to visit butterflies! I have a garden this year that has been captivating to our sweet Monarch butterflies, thank goodness, because they need places to survive!
i like the little skippers. what a pretty spot!
What gorgeous photos! Beautiful colors!
All lovely photos and amazing butterfly shots!
Happy Weekend to you ~ ^_^
I have been chasing butterflies this week too! Your photos of them and the flowers are beautiful!
Lovely captures of the butterflies Debbie, and I love the idea of having a well maintained and pretty butterfly garden by the sea. The tranquil pier and gull shots are beautiful.:)
Very beautiful pictures
That looks so peaceful. It's amazing you got one to pose for you. I saw several big orange butterflies today in our driveway, but they're gone in a flash!
Of course, I saved all these fantastic photos. Thanks for your magical eye for beauty. Sending hugs your way!
Your images make me feel as though I am right there in person enjoying the beauty of nature. Thanks for sharing, sweet Debbie. Happy long weekend! Hugs!

That looks such a lovely spot and so important to have these types of garden areas to support the butterflies ...

love the butterfly garden and the view it has as well as that long pier
I remember you going last year, so great that it still is being kept up nicely and is still a quiet place to enjoy, great job catching them, ours just don't seem to stay still long enough for me :)
