I was thrilled to get my first butterfly capture this season.

The females have the blue banding that can bee seen on this one.

I thought this would be a good FF post.

I appreciate your comments, thank you.

Sandi, I was thrilled too, but for another reason: the beauty of your capture! Perfectly done, my friend!

So cool Tigs - you have captured this swallowtail perfectly as she gets her drink of nectar - have not seen them in my area as of yet, but did see a monarch last week - Great Capture!!!

Wonderful capture Sandi - looks like lilacs she's drinking from - maybe this early is a good sign there will lots of b'flys this year.

Congrats on capturing your first butterfly shot, Sandi. You handled this one like a pro. I recently struggled with clarity when visiting a butterfly house.

A great capture of the year's first butterfly, Sandi. The best I can do is shoot the flies in the butter. A nice DoF in the photo and good details in the image.
