This is the only 35mm picture I have uploaded so far. I am debating putting up others I have taken.

It is very much alive . . . If anything, he is just tired of resisting the picture . . . ;-)

Actually I think it is some variant of the 'Astyanax' Red-spotted Purple. I, like you, classified it as a swallowtail at first, but it lacked the unmistakable tails that are characteristic of swallowtails.

Very beautiful, and inspiring! Even in the most desolate place, beauty can be found!

Crazy I,
I stand corrected. Now that I look closer. Also need to know where the pic was taken.

Middle TN . . . we have a huge variation of butterflies here - our most popular is the tiger swallowtail (center of interest). Unfortunately, I never seem to have a camera handy when I see them. This little fellow comes to that same spot several times a day. I don't know what he likes about the gravel. . . :-\

I see butterflies on gravel a lot. If there is any moisture in the mud under the gravel they get nutrients that way. We have about five species of swallowtail here, and the Pipevine is close to the one in your pic. That's how I got confused.

I have 5 children and 3 have disabilities. One child has severe autism and I have always said she was one of my diamonds in the rough. I think you can see why I love this picture.

I love this picture and the title is 100% on.The simplicity of the photo with the contrast of the textures is super. You have provided me with a little daily inspiration to pick up my camera and get out there! Thank you.

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work.
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)
This is such a pretty shot. The blue colour on the tips of the wings is almost luminous. Did you use a macro lens to get up this close of was it just sleeping. I love the shot and the name too, although it reminds me of aladdin. The contrasts of such angualr stones and such a delicate butterfly really makes every detail important and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Just gorgeous!! This butterfly in particular reminds me of one that landed on my back while in a butterfly conservatory. The colours and textures compliment each other so well in this image, its quite lovely. Thanks for posting it! ^_^
