How beautiful, Lindley! #11077724Debbie Bray July 04, 2014
Heehee, yes Lindley there is a trick to it. I find if you try and get them in the hottest part of the day, you will find them resting, rather than flitting! :) But you obviously caught this one in time! What a fabulous little capture of this swallowtail, love the colours of the flower and butterfly! #11077795Colette M. Metcalf July 04, 2014
