Swallowtail butterfly

What a lovely thing.

It,s beautiful !

I wish that it was down lower so that I could've take a close-up! At least it stopped for a sip this time. Usually they just taunt me by fluttering by. I ran in and got the super telephoto to get this shot. I should have grabbed the tripod too, that way I could have gotten a cleaner shot...but I wouldn't have got the shot at all if I would have stopped for the tripod. It was off to it's nest destination fairly quickly.

Tripod to catch a butterfly (lol) ,your super telephoto is just as good ,great pic

Thanks Deida :)
