The Tiger Swallowtail.is one of the most beautiful butterflies to be found in the United States. This is a male. The female would show a band of blue between the black margin and the main yellow area of the lower wing.Sue and I arrived back in Tulsa about 6:00 this evening and deposited Molly and Will back with Sue's daughter and son-in-law. We were all pleased to be home and back to familiar beds. We had a very nice week. Sue was surrounded by six of her grandchildren and I was able to take an embarrassing number of excellent photographs which I will be happy to share with you as the days go by
Beautiful photo! Great macro shot.

Hiya Bill,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this picture. The marigolds so subtle and that butterfly complements is beautifully.
Perfect placement of the yellow butterfly with your yellow marigolds. Lovely. (I almost posted the same butterfly for Mellow Yellow Monday, until another idea came to me, and then even that was changed by the natural course of events.)
ReplyDeleteA very pleasing photograph here.
ReplyDeleteLove this photo...beautiful butterfly.

ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI took amazing pictures of butterflies (not bragging, I was surprised myself!) in Brazil. Since then, I've been trying to take other pictures of Canadian butterflies but they won't stay still. Brazilian ones wouldn't move, I guess it made my life easier!
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of one of my old pictures except I didn't have any flowers in it.
