Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I like the pose he struck for you, Thad. It gives it an action feel. I have seen few butterflies this year.

A fabulous Friday foofy Thad.
It is my dream to capture a butterfly as well as this.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Oh my, it's gorgeous. Too bad the tip of his wing isn't visible, excellent clarity and brilliant colours and detail. Wow

Excellent close-up of the Swallowtail. I like the focus on the eyes & body plus the sense of motion on the wings. I have seen one Swallowtail all summer. Very well done, Thad.

Lovely shot - I think the swallowtails make particularly nice images when you can find one - I haven't seen any this summer.

Nice close up Thad. I like the positioning of this butterfly. It shows off details not only from the underside of the wing but also some of the front part as well. It is nicely lit up to see the body of it also.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.

Our integrity sells for so little, but it's all we really have. It's the very last inch of us and within that inch, we are free. -V
