While working in the garden yesterday this butterfly landed next to me. He must have sat there for at least 10 minutes. When I finished taking photos of him I went back to work and he left. I didn't have to chase him all over the neighborhood for days waiting for him to land. That is a first for me. The swallowtail I posted took me over a week to get a shot of.

Love it when working in the garden and I am visited by such Garden Friends. Fine capture of your beautiful garden friend Ed.

I gave up on butterflies out in the open. They never cooperate. That's why I have to go to the Butterfly House to get any pictures of them. This is an outstanding shot, Ed. Super color and detail. Well done.

Nice clear shot of the butterfly, Ed. The designs on the wings are very clear and colourful.

I like the dust from the Stardust Ballroom that is covering him Huck. Obviously he was out partying all night. What a great shot. The texture is great. The only time I got one to set that still it was dead.

What a gorgeous flutterby this one is. Sometimes we work so hard to get a decent one and then a chance comes along like this one of yours and you get such fantastic shot.

A very handsome butter one, I think he heard from the swallowtail that you were being a paparazzi and he - wanting attention - decided to show himself off. :) Very crisp, clean, and proper photo.
