The butterflies loved this lilac bush at a garden that I visited this weekend. C&C appreciated.

Yep that butterfly is definitely a keeper. Great shot. I never made it to the butterfly house this spring. I can't seem to ge them outdoors. Nice job of getting this one.


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

Nice detail in #1. #2 is good too but leaves and such are taking away from the butterflies. Well done.

Kent County, New Brunswick, CANADA
has to be one of the world's best kept secret. It is bordered by the sea to the east and is made up of small villages, farms, forest, brooks and rivers. I have lived here all my life and
would recommend it to anyone.

that first one is a cracker. (British for Excellent before anyone asks), I don't know if its my imagination, but in the last couple of years I hardly recall seeing any butterflies here in the UK. When I was a kid there seemed to be a lot more.

Very nice, especially the first one. I really like the composition of the 1st one, with the butterfly clinging on to the flowere at the bottom of the frame.

Nice shots! I especially like the first one here. I've taken and sold some like this. It always makes me laugh to see people turning the pictures around so that the butterfly is right side up. I always tell them that the butterfly was actually upside down (as they so often are), but then again, if they're buying my photograph who am I to tell them the "proper" way to show it! :lol:

Beautiful shots of an eastern tiger swallowtail. The first one is super. Thanks for sharing.
