Tiger Swallowtail

Just before sunset the sky began to clear.

The female Tiger Swallowtail floated in.
She danced for a minute before heading on to her resting place.
I too must rest.

  1. You need to publish your photographs - somewhere. Did I ever call them "exquisite and downright perfect"?

  2. Dear Mary,
    Thank you! This photo was me being "artsy"! The light was fading and the butterfly and the iris looked so prteey. I am thrilled you enjoy the photos. They are fun to do.
    I have thought about doing something with the photos but then a Grosbeak comes and I am taken away again.

  4. Dearest Sprite,
    I loved the way the light was on the flower and the washed out look of the Swallowtail and the detail of the iris.
    I might do a few more "artsy" things. I see all sorts of them everyday. Sometimes I need a critter to stay a lttle bit longer so I can think about how to do the picture.
    This is my Female Tiger Swallowtail friend.
