This lovely lady was enjoying the warm day at the calendar garden the other day. The females have the blue banding, the males have black.

Thank you for your comments, I appreciate hearing from you.

Beautiful capture Sandi and it seems like the butterfly is in good shape too - also note it's appropriately on butterfly bush!

Sandi, think that only you can capture an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail this way. Splendid image! Excellent work, my friend!

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Excellent capture and you got details even in the center where it was marginally over exposed.

Such a beauty. Very sharp focus on the swallowtail. The green background really makes a nice color match.
