A Little Blue
~Resubmit December '11

Pipevine swallowtails are so plentiful this year in Central TX and if there's one plant they enjoy a little grazing on - it's Lily of the Nile...

  Outstanding Valarie down to every little detail. Beautiful capture.

Everytime I open up your gallery I am so drawn to the "Retired Mouser" image. My eyes go there straight away. He cracks me up with that grumpy expression of his. LOL!

  Gorgeous capture Valarie and I have to agree with everyone who has mentioned the beautiful light!! Mid day shooting when the butterflies are most active really pose a challenge but you nailed this perfectly! Beautiful work!

  Thanks so much Tommy and Howard. Butterflies usually are most active in the harsh midday sun but I lucked out with this fella, Tommy - he came around for a late dinner around 5PM! Glad he chose my garden to munch in!
