Excellent images! I love the colors...Where did you take these, Beijing or in your hometown? I don't ever see butterflies here. More like, just flies.....
I like them all!!!!

Those are beautiful. I especially love the colors in the first one, and the black butterfly contrasting with the purple flower.

Love #1 of the swallowtail on the butterfly bush. What kind of bush was in shot #2? Just curious. Nice shots.
