Here is an Eastern Yellow Tiger Swallowtail butterfly taking some nourishment from the Joe-Pye weed. This plant is a native perennial with feathery, pinkish-purple flowers that bloom in mid-to late summer. It is vanilla-scented which attracts butterflies, bees and some birds. Joe Pye is named after an 19th century naturalist from New England who is said to have used the plant's roots to heal typhus fever. Enjoy!!!!!! (best viewed full screen)

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?
Very fine close up of this butterfly, it makes a good contrast
to the flowers in the background.

I really like the close up presentation, and the lighting is wonderful. Joe-Pye is such a favorite for butterflies. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
A bold, sharp image full of color and translucent light. A super capture and presentation. Well done.

That's a beauty, Laura. Just my bizarre imagination working, but the way you have done this with the sky showing makes it looks as if the butterfly is in some trees, and has a wing span of about 30 feet! (I know...I'm weird!) Outstanding capture.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Outstanding capture Laura - perfect light and great detail.

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
Great close up of this wonderfully coloured butterfly and the background really adds to the overall image as well.
Superb capture, but maybe too much of a close up and it maybe look better with more background showing?
Still a class photo though!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Beautiful colours, lighting and composition of the scene. A great close up on the butterfly, Laura.
